The Virtual Community Crate

 Hello 5th Graders!

I had such a fun week and an amazing weekend to go with it! However, the thing I'm most excited about is.... you'll find out if you keep reading!

The thing I'm super excited to tell you about is that my Virtual Community Crate just launched! This is so exciting because it marks the start of my second platform point: create a virtual community crate to spread positive messages by and for students. 

When you go to the Virtual Community Crate, you will see positive messages that other 5th graders from around our state wrote! The crate will have new messages regularly so that you get to see lots of new messages in the Virtual Community Crate. I will pick new messages each week and try to incorporate as many as possible. 

Another thing that makes the Virtual Community Crate so exciting is what you can do in school with it. Along with submitting positive messages to the community crate, you can feature your messages in your school! For example, in my school, we put together a bulletin board of our masks and made them into a rainbow with clouds. What I love about my school bulletin board is that it is almost completely made out of my mask activity! The only things that aren't shaped like masks are the background, border, and the words. You can make a bulletin board in your school and submit pictures of it to be featured in the Virtual Community Crate too! 

If you want to see your mask or your school bulletin board featured in the Virtual Community Crate, you can email me pictures or write ups of your positive messages at Reese@CT.KidGovernor.org or email them to the Kid Governor program at Samantha.Gorski@KidGovernor.org. 

I'm so happy that the Virtual Community Crate is finally launching! If you didn't see it already, you can visit it HERE. 

Now, finally, it has come time for the fun fact of the week. Are you ready?

I play the guitar! I have my own guitar and I take lessons every Friday. I have learned to play a few songs such as Ode to Joy, Love Story, and Happy Birthday. 

I hope you all have a fun week, 5th graders!

Stay positive! :)
