On Nov. 3, 2008 West Islip's Oquenock Elementary School students in Mrs. Parson's fourth grade class cast their votes for president in a mock election. The election booth was donated by the Hohorst family. "It's great for students to see what an impact they can make when they vote, and for them to become aware of the importance of the democratic process," said Principal Dawn Morrison.
