Recap of my Summer Library Circuit!

Hello everyone! School is just around the corner and I’m so excited.

Last month, I held my Summer Library Circuit and visited public libraries across the state. The Circuit went great and I had so much fun at each library.

Speaking at the Russell Library in Middletown.

So many people came out to the Hartford Public Library, the Russell Library in Middletown, and the Milford Public Library and we all had a great time. I shared my Helping Animals, Those Without a Voice campaign, explained what I have been doing during my term as Connecticut's Kid Governor, and told attendees about responsible pet ownership. After my presentation, kids and adults participated in my Helping Animals activity and signed my Responsible Pet Owner Pledge.

I was also able to meet therapy dogs Gizmo, Bennie Boo Beags and Spartacus Chooch - they are cute pups who came to hear my presentation and meet my constituents. If you have Facebook, you should follow them.

Keep helping animals, those without a voice!

Your Kid Governor,

Today is International Cat Day!

Hi guys! Did you know that today is International Cat Day? I don’t encourage you to beg your parents for a cat, but I do encourage you to help cats in your community.



If you have spare time, ask your parents if you can volunteer at a shelter or pound to play with or feed the cats or maybe dogs. You can also click HERE to learn about and start planning a drive to collect items needed at your local shelter or pound. Anything is helpful!

Cats need your help. Make sure to email me at CKGJessica@kidgovernor.org and tell me about all the great things that you or your friends and family are doing.

You all are doing great work! Keep helping animals, those without a voice. Thank you!
