“I think Kid's Voting is an extremely important aspect of our community. I believe that it is very important to learn about the democratic process and to exercise our right to vote. Kid's Voting opens the doors of communication not only in the classrooms but at home, too. Young people of ALL ages need to stay informed … they need to know who their candidates are, attend city and county meetings and talk to their parents. The voice of all kids is the voice of all of our futures!” -Katie S.
