A strong turnout of voters at Harlem High School listened to a large number of candidates for Rock Valley College’s Board and the Harlem School District Board.
Each candidate did an impressive introduction presentation about themselves and then fielded a series of probing questions gathered from the school’s student body; that a panel Harlem High students presented.
Then everyone headed for a meet and greet opportunity where cordial personal greetings and questions could be expressed that was very successful, as was all of the event that included the Harlem culinary students showing off a bit and offering delicious treats.
The event was so successful that it went well past the scheduled time and the crowd needed a bit of prodding to leave.
Well done, Harlem students and the League of Women Voters!
