Yesterday was Election Day 2018 for our grade 6 government here at Max Aitken Academy. This election was the culmination of 14 intense school days where political parties were formed, and platforms and campaigns were planned and executed. In a mere 14 days, our hard working 6th graders came together in teams, creating their own political parties with unique names and slogans.
A reminder to parents that picture day will take place on Monday September 25th for K-5 students and Tuesday September 26th for 6-8 students. Put on your best smile MAA!!
