DENVER — This election season has inspired a lot of people to get active. Even the ones who can’t vote yet.
Take 8th grade friends, Elise and Avery, for example. At the moment, school for Elise and Avery is still a computer on the patio table in the backyard.
“I can’t imagine this being their middle school experience,” said Drew Garland, their electives teacher at Merrill Middle School in Denver.
And yet, if you ask these kids, where class is happening doesn’t seem to dissuade their involvement.
“My favorite (assignment) so far has been running mock political campaigns,” Elise said.
“And in that class, we learn a little bit more about the government,” Avery said.
