And the Winner is...

Who said today’s generation of kids are not activists? This year’s Student Voices Against Hunger contest was our largest ever with 8 different groups participating from schools, faith groups and after school programs .  

A total of 151 students submitted an entry on this year’s theme  “Hunger may be sitting right next to you” .  Most of the art is now hanging at the State Capitol on the concourse, and will be on display until Oct 30^th. Unfortunately there was more art than could be displayed!

The Awards Ceremony for winning art, essays and video will be held Thursday, Oct 24^th in the North Lobby of the Capitol from 6 pm  - 7:30pm. The public is welcome to attend to congratulate these budding activists! If interested, please RSVP to Sarah Santora at 860 286 9999 X105.
