It's been a wonderful week in third grade.  We had 6 students run for student council representatives.  Each student designed a poster and gave a speech to the class.  The students were Parish, Will, Christian, Abby, Christopher, and Gracie.  We had to have a run-off election today because of a tie.  Gracie was elected as our representative and Christopher as the alternate.  Parents, these students need a happy ice-cream for taking a risk.  It is very hard to give a speech to your classmates and they all did an outstanding job!
