Next week the seventh grade students of Mapleton Junior High are trying their luck at running to be in one of the three 7th grade government positions, 7th grade president, vice president and secretary. These elections will be held on Friday the 18th after a week of campaigning.

The students that wish to run for a position were to attend an after school meeting and are to create a two by two foot poster advertising themselves and the position they're running for. Those posters will be hung in the schools commons area on Friday the 11th. On Thursday the 17th each of the candidates will present themselves in a video that will be shown to the school saying why they should receive the audience's vote. On that Friday the students will receive ballots which contain the names of the candidates.

The students will check the boxes next to the candidates' name that they wish to vote for. The results will be calculated and announced later that day.

But till then the7th grade candidates of Mapleton JR. High strive to convince their peers why they should win their place in the 7th grade elections.
