Hello 5th graders! This week, I started my Library Circuit! Let me tell you about the libraries I stopped at and what I did.
If you haven't heard of my Library Circuit, let me tell you what it is. Each year, the Kid Governor visits libraries across the state to talk about the Connecticut's Kid Governor program and how schools can get involved. I get to meet with other kids and encourage them to run or vote for the next Kid Governor. I also get to talk about my term, the things I've done, my platform, and more.
Thursday: On Thursday, I started my Library Circuit in my hometown of Southington. I met Mr. C and the
Kid Governor team at Southington Public Library and went over what to expect during the circuit stop. I had already made a Google Slides presentation and wrote a speech. We waited for people to arrive at the library and I was super excited to see my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Chavez, there. Mrs. Chavez is the best teacher ever and I was so excited to see her and catch up. Not only did Mrs. Chavez come but so did Mrs. Rogala! Mrs. Rogala was my principal from Oshana. I was super excited to see her too.
Once everyone was there (including my best friend, Ava) I got started. I went up to the front of the room and presented my slides. I talked about the Kid Governor program, my platform, what I've done during my term, and then I led an activity. For the activity, the Kid Governor team set up a table that was covered with my paper masks for my Virtual Community Crate. Before everyone left, I asked them to all write a positive message on the masks to be added to the Virtual Community Crate. It was a great way to kick off my Circuit!
Saturday: On Saturday, I had made three more presentations. The first one was at Otis Library in Norwich. There were about five kids that attended (plus some adults) and they asked a lot of great questions. At the end, I asked the kids if they were interested in running for Kid Governor and they all said yes!
For the next two presentations, I went up to the Old State House because the Milford Public Library and Bridgeport Public Library preferred a virtual version of my presentation. These presentations were super fun because I got so many questions! It was super fun to get to inspire kids to run for Kid Governor. You can watch my Bridgeport Public Library presentation HERE and Milford Public Library presentation HERE!
I can't wait for my next two presentations in Monroe and Hartford on Saturday, September 25!
Stay positive! :)
