Thanks to
the students who participated in Tuesday’s statewide mock election. We sincerely hope those who are 18 will go
out and cast your vote in the election on Nov 6. Interestingly, there was a statewide mock
election in 2016 for the presidential election.
At that time, we did the voting in Advisory classes so almost everyone
voted. This time, we wanted it to mirror actual voting so students had to take
time to go to our “polling place” during your lunchtime (on the Plaza). The
turnout was similar to TN’s average turnout – which is one of the lowest in the
country! The voter turnout in Tennessee in the 2014 midterms was 36% and our Tuesday
turnout was 31%. Please encourage
friends and family who are registered to exercise their rights – and if you are
registered – go make your voice heard on Nov 6! Just FYI, in our mock election,
the Democrat Karl Dean won governor and Phil Bredesen won the senate race.

Key Club
visited many of your GHs on Wednesday to ask for spare change to help support
the Trick-Or-Treat for UNICEF campaign. . "Everyday, worldwide, UNICF
is saving and improving children's lives. The money raised from Trick-or-Treat
for UNICEF helps provide kids in need with healthcare, safe water, nutrition,
education, emergency relief, and more!" See below.
We'll continue collecting spare change and loose cash throughout next
week. We have small orange boxes stationed on the office counter and the
library. On Wednesday of next week, we'll have students collecting change
in orange boxes during both lunches. All money collected will be sent
directly to UNICEF! We hope you'll look for some spare change to contribute.
