This week, Ms. Mandelbaum’s seventh-grade class at RYNJ celebrated Super Tuesday with their very own primary and caucus. The students were each assigned a candidate for whom they created an entire campaign. Press releases were issued, speeches were written, original logos and slogans were crafted and swag was designed representing each candidate’s policies.

On Super Tuesday, the candidates and their campaign committees gathered together for a democratic primary and a republican caucus. Students were each assigned a state to represent along with the number of delegates belonging to that state. The candidates spoke passionately about their positions and policies to encourage delegates to vote for them. Marco Rubio and Bernie Sanders won the RYNJ seventh-grade nominations! (RYNJ does not endorse any particular candidate.)
