Maddie was elected by her peers as the Safety Captain for the 5th Grade safety patrol. Her duties include overseeing all of the safetys, selecting them for the right jobs, making sure they do their jobs and working with the teacher who oversees the safetys to ensure the kids are staying safe and doing their job.
She does not get to carry a gun or taser with this job, but gets to carry a clipboard and give demerits or merits based on job performance. I'm going to have a talk with Maddie about how "Absolute power corrupts, absolutely."
We're very proud of what a great leader Maddie is and the fact that this was recognized by her peers as they voted her into this job. They announced it today at the all school gathering today and Maddie gets to wear a special badge (the triangle on her safety belt) that says, "Captain - Safety Patrol".

Was there a vote with no ballots or were there ballots with canadiates?
a vote with ballots and candidates.
You should make her watch the Brady Bunch episode where Peter becomes head safety patrol.
That's genius!
I should probably have a chat with her about being safety captain, because I was safety captain once... until they voted me out. Apparently, I was trying to run the safety patrol like Captain William Bligh on the HMS Bounty. Can you say, "10 year-old tyrant?"
