Arkansas City Public Schools offered students a hands-on lesson in democracy with this year’s Kids Vote event, where students cast ballots to predict national and state election results. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers and the Optimists of Arkansas City, this event was a success, bringing civic engagement to life. True to tradition, our students accurately forecasted most of the election outcomes.
