Tuesday is Election Day not just in Ohio, but nationwide.  Many important issues are on the ballot, and it is important that as young adults all of us understand how crucial our right to vote is in our democracy.  But how do you vote?  What do you vote on?  How do you stay informed?  Some social studies classes at THS will be participating in ‘Kids Vote’ as a way to educate students about elections, and Julio Fuentes has prepared this report on the topic.
It is your right to vote when you turn 18, and your vote counts.

It’s our right as citizens and a cornerstone of our democracy, so get out and vote next Tuesday if you are eligible.

Fall blood drive will be held this year on Friday November 18th.  This fall students who sign up to participate will receive a t-shirt with Talawanda students listed who donated on the shirt.  Each senior who donates will be put in a drawing for a $1000.  scholarship and donate three times receive cords for graduation.  Each time a person donates you save 3 lives!  Forms will be available in the office and starting next week during lunch.  ALL students will need to fill out the same form this year.

With voting day coming up on Tuesday, if you are 18 and registered it is just as important to cast your vote then, as it is when you vote for athlete of the week, so make sure to express your American rights.
