Rio Rocks the Vote - October 17-20, 2008

The Presidential Election is only 18 days away, and we are participating with history classes all over the campus by participating in Rio Rocks the Vote!

Students all over our school are researching the issues that are important to Americans this election, learning the positions of the candidates, and then forming their own opinions on each of these important issues. Students are then writing an essay outline and an essay articulating their positions on what they think are their three most important issues. All work on "Rio Rocks the Vote!" is due to Mr. Ippolito on or before October 31, 2008.

The activity will culminate on November 4, Election Day, when Rio Norte students will have the chance to participate in our own mock election online!

If parents have any questions about the assignment, please feel free to e-mail Mr. Ippolito at rvi@hartdistrict.org.
