Students at Lee Road Elementary School in the Levittown School District are experiencing democracy in action as classes cast their vote toward exciting possibilities.

Each month, classes throughout the building have the chance to win the "Golden Spatula" award for good behavior, earning them the opportunity to vote on student-favorite activities. Emily Marek's first grade class dropped their ballots off in the ballot box to vote for either an ice cream party or a special game day. As the class counted the ballots, students filled out a bar graph and practiced tallying the votes, with game day ultimately coming out on top.
