Students in Mr. Carr’s class brought civics to life with a hands-on simulation of the Electoral College. In head-to-head dice matchups, each winning roll secured an entire state’s electoral votes, mirroring the winner-take-all system used in most of the country. After completing all 50 states, the groups compared their results. They saw firsthand how different electoral outcomes can emerge, including how a candidate can win the Electoral College without winning the popular vote.
Families came together for an exciting elementary school Family Literacy Night, hosted by the Literacy Volunteers of Wayne & Seneca Counties and the Lyons PTA.

Every student left with a new book to take home and a LEGO creation, making it a night that celebrated creativity, reading, and community.
