Hi,
One of the projects the grade school PTO's have been working on has been to move election voting out of schools. One of the fruits of that project is that this next Tuesday, May 6th, almost every elected official in Greendale will be meeting together to talk about the issue, and hear from the community. The school board, the village board, and village president will all be there, so this is a unique opportunity for the girls to meet their elected officials, and see democracy in action on an issue that even touches their lives.
The meeting is in the Safety Center (police station) and starts at 6:00. I've included the agenda, if you're curious about what's going to be discussed.
If girls want to go, I know there are "civics" badges, and I'll make sure to have them for girls that attend. I don't know if it's important for parents to stay with the girls, but it's probably a good idea--that way the girls can go home when it gets boring!
