Monday was a day to celebrate — across the country and at CGS in Leaside. This was the day we exercised our democratic right to vote. At the school, Grades 1-4 candidates running for Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Class Councillor presented their speeches in the morning. One of the candidates for Mayor was even away sick and still presented her speech via video. After the speeches, the children cast their ballots for their 2015/16 CGS Student Government. Congratulations to the newly elected CGS Student Government. They have good work ahead to represent their fellow students to the best of their ability.
