POST PHOTOS/JIM PHILLIPS Elections (continued from page 1) results and a teacher's manual loaded with teaching aids. There are suggested classroom activi- ties for different grade levels. “Were going to cut out and color the party symbols; the el- ephant and the donkey,” explained first grade teacher Elaine Moran. “I know why they're decorated with red, white and blue,” piped in first grader Michael Sebastian. “They represent the colors of the American flag. I think the election is all tied up right now and I think that Gore is going to win because I've seen lots of signs for him, but I've only counted 17 signs for Bush.” The teacher's manual recom- mends that kindergarten through third grade study symbols like the state flag and the national flag, the Statue of Liberty and the party symbols. “We have donkeys and elephants with a place to insert a picture,” said third grade teacher Mary Ann Gelso. “The students need to look for pictures of the presidential candidate in news- papers and magazines and bring “It’s important to vote because if there were no president, there would be no rules.” Erica Miller Fourth grade them into school.” Kindergarten students are learning, too. “They know who their parents are voting for al- ready so you can see that they are talking about this at home,” said their teacher Karen Mertz. Other sources of information are being used. “The Tudor Book Store provided us with silhou- ettes of the candidates,” explained Maryclaire McCarthy, another third grade teacher. “They have all kinds of information about the candidates and the issues. We're probably going to do a separate classroom election so we can see and compare the different results.” THIS IS WHERE WE DRAW THE LINE No Closing Cost Home Equity Credit Line “Fourth grade Social Studies classes have been studying the whole election process and the electoral college,” said fourth grade teacher, Valeria Rothrock who is being called the “Election Lady” due to her role of running the Mock Election. “Students were asked to make election posters to emphasize voting. We want them to understand the responsibility of voting. If they wanted to put a candidate's name on their poster, they had to put both names on it.” To keep things at an elementary school level, the ballot is limited to the two major party candidates in this year’s presidential race. Students throughout the school are getting the message. “It's important to vote because if there were no president, there would be no rules,” remarked Erica Miller. “I also know that it’s the Electoral College that really elects the presi- dent,” she added. All of the students will fill out a ballot and drop it in a ballot box prepared by fourth grade stu- dents. “Those students have just finished a section on tallying in their math classes so they will tally the results for us,” explained Ms. Rothrock. The results must be phoned, faxed or e-mailed to the Department of State by 5 p.m. on November 2 to be included in the final results across the Com- monwealth. Schools are frequently inun- dated with information about ex- tra programs and poster contests for students participation. “I felt that this would be very good be- cause teaching students about the election process is very appro- priate,” said Wycallis principal, Kathleen McCarthy. “It cuts across all the grade levels and subject areas and all of the stu- dents can participate. That kind of thing can be very unifying for a school.” 'Helping Hearts and Hands' 2001 summer work camp applications being accepted Keith Benjamin, director of The Community Development Corpo- ration of Noxen, Kunkle and Ruggles announced today that the third annual "Helping Hearts and Hands" Work Camp will be held July 29-August 4, 2001.
