Middle School student participated in a debate between our two presidential candidates (Kansas State University and University of Kansas). The presidential candidate for KSU with Mr. Lingenfelser and his running mate Coach Hommann and the KU had Mr. Biehler with his running mate Coach Warta. Students were able to submit questions that would be used during the debate. On Tuesday, November 5, students voted during their history hour. They signed in, received a ballot, voted and then received a “I Voted” sticker. Results were posted on a bulletin board!
