Today was the first day of campaigning. Mike and I got up early to make Jorja's campaign shirts. She asked us to get her up to help, but we decided against it. Sleep is more important right now. She hasn't gotten enough sleep for a few days. Stockton took her to school with her posters and shirts. She was terrified. Mr. Packer did get mad at her for changing to public relations though. He said he had just spent hours getting the ballot to look right. In the information handed out, the kids had until this morning to change, so I don't know why he was working on the ballot before everything was final. Jorja told him she texted him yesterday. He looked at his phone and kind of grunted. Luckily it was in 'writing'. I had warned Jorja that Mr. Packer is not nice to girls. I guess she is already being initiated. Anyway, here is Jorja's platform that will be posted in the hallway at school.
Jorja came home pretty excited. I guess the first day went well. She was able to hand her signs off and hand out her shirts. Drew held a sign for her. One of his teachers got pretty mad at him and said she would get whoever he was campaigning for disqualified if he didn't tone it down. I guess he went up to the front of the class and started waving around Jorja's sign chanting "J0RJA-JORJA" or something like that. Someone else took her sign and was marching around the lunchroom with the Jorja chant. They got a bunch of people to follow them. So....it looks like things are going pretty well.
Jorja posted her tire hula hooping video on Instagram tonight. I was laughing telling Mike that it looks like her campaign is all about tires. Who knew? Jorja's loving it though. She went to school dressed in her racing outfit. She's having fun. I'm so proud of her.
