League of Women Voters National Student Parent Mock Election Award Goes to The Oakland School.

The League of Women Voters Award is given to a school class or group that has increased parent and community participation in the 2004 Mock Elections and/or actual election. This year the Oakland School is one of six from hundreds of schools nation wide to receive this national award!

The LWVUS and NSPME organizations will be doing press releases(nationally and locally) to announce The Oakland School as one of the award winning projects. The school has been invited to the League's national council meeting on Saturday and Sunday, June 11 and 12 at the Metro Marriott in Washington, DC. to receive the award in person from the league's national president.

The application for the award was submitted in January to the National Student Parent Mock Election organization. The application was based on our all school focus in October entitled: Celebrate Democracy Election 2004. More about our election study (including photos) can be seen HERE.
