Nov. 4, 2016—Cypress Woods High School students joined an organized effort to participate in early voting at Juergen’s Hall Community Center and Cypress Top Historic Park on Oct. 26.
Students were given the option to take a bus from school to the polling place during their history class as a way to encourage young, eligible voters to participate in American democracy.
In order to make the process less burdensome, administration at the school assisted Wildcat students with registration while they filled out the basic information.
“A woman came to our history class and handed us a piece of paper for us to fill out,” senior Kelsey Robinson said. “You had to fill in stuff like your driver's license number and your name and address. After you finished you just handed it back to her and she took care of the rest.”
The teacher in charge of the event, Leah Stephanow, is enthusiastic about the idea of finding a way to encourage voter turnout in future elections.

Kids will go register to vote just t0 get out of class for the day, not having idea of who or what they are voting for. Unless ,of course, if the liberal teacher helps them out a little bit. Rumor has it this happened at a school in Broward County also.
