While the nation went to the polls on Election Day Tuesday, students at Mattie Lively Elementary School got a jump start on doing their civic duty. QUEST teacher Valerie Powell and her group of fourth- and fifth-graders organized a mock presidential election, and the school's students cast their votes using Chromebooks or paper ballots. The fourth- and fifth-graders created announcements and campaign posters and assisted other students with the voting process.
