October "Shout Outs" to Kids Helping Animals!

I have some shout outs for kids who visited my Kid Governor's Office at Connecticut's Old State House in Hartford and shared how they want to be kind to animals through my animal cut-out activity:

• Sarah said "I can learn about what animals need to be healthy."
• Chelsey wrote "I can serve my time to a local animal shelter."
• Camillo wrote "I can put a container of water in the street on hot days to help street dogs or cats" 
• Dylan said "I can try to make a food organization for animals."
• Brenna wrote "I can make donations to the animal shelters."
• Grace said "I can make an effort to not leave trash outside because I know it can hurt an animal." 
• Jerick said "I can give money to charities that help abused animals."
• Julia wrote "I can do a can and bottle drive to raise money to donate to the animal shelters."

Reading the animal cut-outs visitors have left in my office at the Old State House!

Another huge shout out to Elena Tipton the 2016 Connecticut's Kid Governor for going to my office and picking out some great cut outs from kids across the state.

If you want to get a shout out just email me at CKGJessica@kidgovernor.org.

Have a great day and keep helping animals, those without a voice!

Your Kid Governor, 

Special shout-outs to people helping animals!

I want to start by giving shout-outs to everyone who is collecting donations like toys, treats, food, blankets, or towels for their local pounds and shelters! To learn more about holding a collection drive, read my blog post "Help animals in your community by planning a spring collection drive!" or visit CT.KidGovernor.org/collection-drives.

I would also like to give shout-outs to those who have recently visited my Kid Governor Office at Connecticut's Old State House. Students and visitors have participated in my "Helping Animals" activity by writing what they can do to help animals on paper animal cut outs. Special shout outs to:

• Sofia Merino who said, “Less cages more freedom." How inspiring!
• Jayla from Manchester who said she could hold a can drive. Really cool!
• Angelica said to “treat them like family." That's very nice!
• Camila said to “put a container with water in the streets for the stray dogs." That is very thoughtful!

Thank you everyone for giving great ideas about what we can do to help animals. Thank you all for all of your support. I really appreciate it!

Your Kid Governor,
