I VOTED: STICKER CONTEST
The Harnett County Board of Elections has officially launched its inaugural ‘I Voted’ Sticker Contest and is seeking community members’ participation in casting their votes to determine a winner for the 2024 General Election sticker.
Members of the community can vote on their favorite sticker design at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/I_Voted24
or by visiting https://www.harnett.org/elections
“We wanted to create a contest to encourage school children to become active participants in the voting process by creating a voting contest to redesign the ‘I Voted’ sticker,” said Andrea Crook, Harnett County Elections Specialist.
This year’s participants were various students from Harnett County Middle Schools.
The ‘I Voted’ Sticker Contest will run through May 23, and community members are invited to participate in casting their votes.
The winner will be announced on May 28 and will receive a $50 gift card, recognition on Facebook, and their design will be printed onto the stickers that will be handed out at the polling locations in Harnett County during the General Election this fall.

EOG Testing Tips from Harnett County Schools
It’s that time of the year again—EOG tests are upon us! Here are some tips to help our students shine:
1. **Rest Up**: Ensure your child gets a good night's sleep before each test day—rest is crucial for focus and performance.
2. **Healthy Breakfast**: A nutritious morning meal fuels the brain and helps with concentration.
3. **Review Materials**: Go over any study materials provided by teachers to refresh your child’s memory.
4. **Stay Hydrated**: Drinking water can help improve cognitive function.
5. **Arrive Early**: Getting to school early can help ease any test-day nerves.
6. **Encourage!**: A little encouragement goes a long way. Remind your child to do their best, and that you're proud no matter what.
Let’s help our kids tackle their EOGs with confidence!
