Mackarado Election

It's Election Day!
Last Friday, after a week of campaigning, the Mackarados narrowed it down to two Presidential hopefulls and their running mates. Almost every Mackarado wanted the opportunity to be considered to be a candidate and many campaigned with vigor! There were stickers, candy, baked goods and business cards- all to help get votes. (We had some pretty dedicated campaign managers working hard at home!). On Friday, they got up in front of the class and gave a speech about what they would do as president to help make our class better and why their classmates should vote for them. So glad I didn't have to vote...such a tough decision! Such great promises....like donuts once a week, longer recess and les work for teachers- aren't they sweet?!
But the Mackarados spoke and they each voted to nominatee a girl and a boy to be our candidates. The runner-ups girl and boy, then became the running mate for the candidate of the opposite gender so we had both "parties" represented in our election. Kendall and Meagan R. received the most girl nominations and after a revote (because of a 4-way tie!), Gavin and Rece were the boy nominees. So on election day it is Kendall and Rece running against Gavin and Meagan R. So exciting.
The most exciting part was how each and every Mackarado was truly deserving of such a prestigious honor. We are so proud of all of you and you should be very proud of yourselves, too!!!
And the winner is.... Kendall as President and Rece as Vice President!!!
