September Cabinet Meeting

Hello everyone!

I had another meeting with my Cabinet and I can't wait to tell you about it!

When I have Cabinet meetings, I usually go up to the Old State House and take my meeting from a computer there. However, I did this meeting from home. 

When I joined the meeting, I found out that my Cabinet members Claire and Cora were able to go to the Old State House and met each other! I was so excited of them. The other Cabinet member that was on was Nathan.

To start, I asked my Cabinet two ice breaker questions: 

- If you've gone back to school, what was your favorite thing about your first day?

- If you're going to a new school, what is your favorite thing about your new (or old) school?

Cora said that her favorite thing about her new school was the library. Claire said that she hadn't gone back yet but she really had fun at the orientation. Nathan said that his school is a K-8 but she got to see new parts of his school for the 6th graders and that he thought it was cool to explore the different parts of his school.

After that, Mr. Orcutt, another person that works for the CT Democracy center, introduced an ice breaker for us. He put Claire and Cora on a team and me and Nathan on a team. The point was to list as many states in the U.S. as possible and to write them all down. We only had two minutes to do so! I took notes for my team and me and Nathan came up with 14 states. Then, we talked to Claire and Cora and found out that they had come up with over 30 states! It was impressive!

Then, we all gave updates about our platforms and what we've been working on. Cora said that her new school let her put up a bulletin board that had to do with her climate change platform and she got to talk to her classmates about her platform and the Kid Governor program. We all shared what we were excited to be working on with our platforms. I also talked about my summer Outdoors-A-Thon.

Finally, we went over my poster contest and I found out that the winner was from Claire's elementary school! We also talked about how the posters will be on display at CT Family Day which is happening at the end of the month. Me, my cabinet, the 12 finalists, and the winner are all invited and I'm so excited! This meeting was definitely a fun one!

Now, are you ready for the fun fact of the week? Here it is! My favorite subject in school is reading!

Stay positive! :)
