Qualities MEF Kids Hope for in a President

With the presidential election coming up in November 2016, MEF was curious to know what Midtown & Metro students were looking for in the next President of the United States. We received a lot of insightful answers, many of them rooted in the Character Education lessons that MEF students engage in each week. In light of Super Tuesday we decided to share these with the public. Enjoy!
