Dear fellow Hanoverians:
This Friday, May 9th, Hanover High School students will be voting in a mock
election that mirrors the Annual Town Election scheduled for May 10th.
Hanover High School senior Kristen Daudelin has been working with Hanover
Town Clerk Cathy Harder-Bernier since January on this project and they are
meeting with students this week to review why and how they will be voting
next week.
If you are a parent of, or know a Hanover High School student or two in
your neighborhood, please take a few minutes to talk to them this week
about the importance of voting. Talk about who is on the ballot and what
folks like the Selectmen and members of the School Committee do. You might
even talk about what can be done about the shortage of candidates of late.
It is hoped that this town-wide discussion of Hanover town politics will
engender some life-long enthusiasm for the cornerstone of our country’s
democracy: the right to vote in free and fair elections, and perhaps even
spur on some adults to participate more actively.
For more information about the Hanover High School Mock Election, please
don’t hesitate to contact Kristen or Cathy in the Town Clerk’s Office
at (781) 826-5000, x1079, or Catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov or
kristendaudelin@yahoo.com . And if you see Kristen Daudelin around town,
please join me in congratulating her on all of her hard work to make this
new opportunity for our town’s high school students possible. :)
