This fall my middle child (and middle school child) decided to run for Class President. The fact that he was unopposed didn't dampen his enthusiasm one bit. After days and days of agonizing over what his campaign posters and speech should be about he decided on "The Mustache.' I know I din't understand it either, but it made for some cute posters. Thought I would share these.

Obey the 'stache' vote Jack Hoog

When Jack decided to run for 8th grade President his father said,"the best way to get votes was to give away free stuff and to have flashing lights." Since they are not allowed to give things away, he had to settle for flashing lights. It's a bit hard to tell but around the perimeter of this poster we put lights. (if you look closely you can see small black dots ...that's where the lights were threaded through the poster.) Emma and I ran across poster lights at Jo-ann fabric and new we had to get them for Jack's campaign. The funny thing is... It totally worked. The day Jack hung the sign with lights he had one person after another come up and tell him they would vote for him! Many had no idea what he was running for, which Jack found hilarious! Everyday Jack would go into school in the morning and turn on his poster. And everyday one more person would pat him on the back and assure him he had their vote. Jack said it was a shame he was running unopposed it would have made for an interesting experiment. (obviously he was not running with the popularity ticket)
