President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney are not the only politicians vying for a chance to represent the people. Over in Bloomfield, the Bess & Paul Sigel Hebrew Academy was caught in the excitement of campaigns for positions on the school’s Student Council. The Academy’s campaign season culminated in a special assembly on Friday, Oct. 19 in which the candidates for president and vice-president made their cases to the student body, following which students cast their votes.
