Election Day is Nov 5th for Students
At Carvajal Elementary, excitement is building as election season kicks off in a unique way. Teachers Danielle Salgado and Cynthia Bever have launched a campus-wide campaign, pitting their classroom bearded dragons against each other in a friendly competition for the title of “Master Carvajal Pet.”
Campaigning for Classroom Mascots
The election, designed to teach students about the importance of voting and responsible citizenship, features two charismatic candidates: Charzard Salgado and Eevee Bever. Charzard, the pet bearded dragon of Danielle Salgado’s 5th grade class, faces off against Eevee, the mascot for Cynthia Bever’s 2nd grade class.
Encouraging Civic Engagement
Both classrooms have pledged to run positive and educational campaigns. In the coming weeks, voter registration cards will be distributed to all students, who are encouraged to register and participate in the election process. The big day is set for Tuesday, November 5, when Carvajal students will cast their ballots and decide which bearded dragon will earn the coveted title of Master Carvajal Pet. Let the best bearded dragon win!
