He Won!
The votes were counted and my grandson won! It was so exciting to see all the kids stand before their classmates and lots of parents and grandparents and give a speech to win for the position they were running for. You must know that there are 56 children in this 5th grade class and 47 were running for an office in the Student Council! Everyone of them gave a speech!
