“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken (adults).” — Frederick Douglass
The Key West Weekly is proud to introduce Kids Weekly, where we feature middle-school students from Key West and the Lower Keys, giving them a voice and printing their answers to some fun questions.
Instead of asking about their favorite teacher or school subject, we want to know the important stuff — what superpower they’d most like to have, their favorite YouTube channels, what makes them laugh and the hardest part about being a kid today.
To have your school’s fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth graders included, please email Key West Editor Mandy Miles at mandy@keysweekly.com for the questionnaire and directions for photo submissions.
Special thanks to Sigsbee Charter School student Jack Mitchell and teacher Jessica Forsyth for helping us assemble the new Kids Weekly feature.
