The Northwest Valley and Sun City/Peoria chapters of AAUW and Peoria North and Sun City Rotary Clubs collaborated to donate 140 copies of the Dr. Seuss book, “One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote”, to Peoria Unified School District. A copy of the book will be placed in each fifth grade classroom and each elementary school library.
The books were delivered to the school district on Sept. 25. Representatives of both AAUW and Rotary and assistant principals of the elementary schools in the district were present. The organizations are also working with the schools to do mock elections in the classrooms so the students get to experience voting and its importance and impact.
Peoria Unified has an important override election Nov. 5 that the district is hoping passes for much needed funding.
