his poster contest!
Kid Governor Keudy Martinez‘s platform is “Speaking Up for Safe & Happy Schools” and it addresses both mental health and bullying. One way Keudy is addressing mental health is collaborating with the Department of Children and Families and CT Family Day on a statewide poster contest! Keudy invites 5th graders to submit artwork that answers the question: In What Ways Do You and Your Family Take Care of Your Mental Health? Finalists’ posters will be shared on the Connecticut’s Kid Governor® website and celebrated at CT Family Day.
