The Keys Weekly proudly brings you Kids Weekly each week, featuring local middle-school students and their answers to some fun questions. Instead of asking about their favorite teacher or school subject, we want to know what superpower they’d most like to have, their favorite YouTube channel and the hardest part about being a kid today.
To have your fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth graders included, please contact Key West Editor Mandy Miles at mandy@keysweekly.com or Upper Keys Editor Jim McCarthy at jim@keysweekly.com for the questionnaire and directions for photo submissions.
