Ellie is running for student body president of her middle school this week. She told me last week that she wanted to run and I tried to talk her out of it. It sounded like a bunch of unnecessary work. Why would she subject herself to that??
She convinced me so this week I've been helping her with her campaign. Her posters have all been based on the Campbell soup idea - "Voting for Ellie is a SOUPER choice", "Campbell Can!!!!" and so forth.
She had the idea to get these little jars of candy and tape a Campbell soup label that reads "Vote Ellie" so we were all working on the last night. This morning she set up a table outside the school to pass out these little candies to all the students.
She's doing a skit for the student body and this afternoon they vote. Stay tuned tomorrow for the results!!!
It's really been such a pleasure to help her. She's so grateful for all the help she receives and keeps thanking me, and the rest of the family, for helping her. Her little friends have been involved too, helping to hang posters and hand out the candies this morning. She has a really nice group of friends.
Ellie is SO different from her brothers and I am so grateful for her!
