Campaigning

5th grade Emma is running for Student Body President

Her chances of winning are slim.

There are 8 kids running for president...

SEVEN girls and ONE boy!

I am thinking the 1 boy has a really good chance of winning.

Emma was in need of a very good, very catchy slogan.

Campaign Headquarters:

(making poster)

The slogan we came up with was:

"Its SO FLUFFY!!!"

(quote from "Despicable Me")

ha ha, well, its unique at least, as far as slogans go.

She was SO excited about her poster. We used a turquoise boa for the letters in her name, I glued that on... but Emma cut out all the letters we glued on, then I wrote the letters below and she traced them with the puffy paint. It was a joint venture, not all me. When I took her to the school to hang up her poster every kid that saw it immediately said all excited, just like the movie:

"It's SO FLUFFY!!"

It was catchy just like we wanted.

And her speech is even more awesome. She is going to say "Fluffy" a dozen times. We thought it was a funny slogan, but didn't know how to tie it in with meaning. We were brainstorming as a family... then Ashlin said you should use the letters in FLUFFY like an acronym. PERFECT.

F- Fun

L- Leader

U- Understanding

F- Friendly

F- Full of enthusiasm

Y- WHY wouldn't you vote for her?

Emma's brother Logan told his whole class to vote for her. Isn't Emma lucky to have such a big family, we make up quite the campaign committee.

The littlest Committee member is the cutest:

And don't worry... on the way home from helping Emma hang up her poster at school, Sophie, Lily (in her pajamas still) and I stopped and voted for our Local Gilbert Town Council Members!

Good Luck Emma!!
