When I went to the party supply store the other day I saw tons of red, white, & blue things for 4th of July. It got me thinking about making my back to school bulletin board something tied in with the presidential election.
The decor would be very easy. I thought I could have a ballot with each student's name on it in the hall. I'd take a picture of each holding a mini flag on day one and put those with the ballots.
Where I'm stuck is I'm not coming up with a catch title for the bulletin board...Maybe "Meet the New Candidates for Mrs. X's Class" ? Not very catchy.
Any clever ideas?

How about: Look who's "running" into Mrs. __________ class?

I love the theme! I'm thinking of doing a USA theme, having some election stuff and some general American stuff. I need ideas for catchy phrases too, but maybe expanding the theme to All American - phrases will come to us. I think you can get positive characteristics out too!

How about "Cast Your Ballot for a Great Year!"

Our school does a theme each year. This year our theme is "Elect to Learn."

I'm using an election theme too, and thought of these titles: "Fifth Graders are Winners!" or "Fifth Grade Voted #1!" or "Fifth Grade Voted the Best!"

Hi--great idea. I don't remember what grade you said this was for...but how about, "The Ballots are In...This class is a winner!!" This would show how all the names being put together provide the recipe for victory! Good luck!
