o After all names have been written, one scholar will distribute ballots (post its) to
all students in the classroom
o After all ballots have been distributed, scholars will write only one name of an
eligible candidate (those who write more than one, will be discarded)
o After the scholar that distributed the ballots has written down his/her choice,
he/she will collect all of the other ballots without delay and give them to Mr.
Goebel

cheer, but will not be permitted to boo, hiss, or in any way be discouraging.
