Students in Norwood held a mock presidential debate Monday.
Immaculate Conception students as young as 10 years old were split into groups of Democrats and Republicans, while seventh and eighth-graders acted as debate moderators.
Some students even acted as party front runners like Trump, Cruz, Clinton and Sanders.
The students prepared for a month to get ready for the debate. 
School officials say they hope the mock debate teaches students lifelong skills and helps them better understand parts of the political system.
