Power Point Class Elections

Power Point Class Elections

There are going to be three parts of the PPC elections. First, the class has to decide who is eligible to apply to be class co-presidents and to be the class secretary. Second, those students who are eligible to apply for any of the positions will make posters and write speeches expressing why they would make the best president as well as ideas they have about making the class a stronger community, about ways the class learning could be more fun, and about ways that students could have a stronger voice in school policy.
