On Tuesday morning we were extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to vote on the town dog tag shape and color for the coming year.  Jen Peterson, our town clerk, and Kellee Mazer, very graciously came to school and talked us through the voting process.  The ballot box was locked and children went up one at a time to cast their votes.  After everyone had voted Jen unlocked the box and we counted the votes.  Purple was the color choice, but there was a tie for shape between flower and hexagon, so we had to have a run off vote.  In the end hexagon won by one vote.  So next year look for purple hexagon dog tags as voted on by the kindergarten class!  Thank you to Jen and Kellee for taking the time to give kindergarteners this hands on civics experience.
