Get out the MINER BEAR VOTE! 

11/6/2016

 
Tuesday is ELECTION day at Miner Elementary! Last year, our students submitted their ideas for the perfect Miner Bear - a bear that loves to play, is a good friend, loves to learn, is strong, and gives lots of big bear hugs. We took the winning drawing and now it's time to put it to a vote! 

It's all about voter turnout, so we hope all of our Miner Bears submit ballots on Tuesday so their voices can be heard in our Miner Bear Election extravaganza.
