St. Gabriel School Election The fifth grade students ran a school election for the students and staff of St. Gabriel. The three candidates were the archangels; St. Raphael St. Gabriel, and St. Michael. The fifth grade students ran our poll booth and had all students register to vote. This was a great learning process for the students. After counting all the ballots our school winner this year was St. Michael.
