+F.T.I. students: Get out and vote
Students at Flagler Technical Institute were busy last week getting the word out about the importance of voting. With the deadline to register right around the corner, Miranda Beard and Nicole Ziegler, with the help of mentor and community volunteer Pat Bueltman, provided information about the candidates along with voting registration forms.
"This is such an important election," Beard said. "Everyone should exercise their right to vote. It is just the right thing to do."
For many students at FTI, this will be their first election in which they can vote for a president.
"I am really excited to vote," said Shellsea Smith, a first-time voter and student in the Childcare Program. "I feel fortunate because I know there are so many people around the world who don't have the same rights we have here in the United States."

Abra Seay's second-grade class and Tara Millette's fifth-grade class have teamed up to take learning to a new level with students teaching students.
As a way to improve success on science assessments, the fifth-grade students are teaching an end-of-the-unit lesson to the second graders.
Teaching is the highest form of learning, therefore the fifth-grade students have to have mastered the topic before they can teach it to their second-grade partner, Millette said.
“The first lesson was a huge success, and the fifth-graders demonstrated a proficient level of knowledge about the Solar System, which allowed the second graders to be engaged throughout the entire lesson,” she said.
