Reading with ferris
New Year, New Laws Some of the best bill ideas we work on in the Legislature come directly from constituents. That is why I'm reinstating our There Ought to be a Law Program for local students in sixth to 12th grade to share their ideas with my office for a new state law. This program allows students to apply their civics knowledge in a practical way that engages them in the heart of public service. My team and I will review each submission and select one idea to be introduced as a bill in the new year. The student will also have an opportunity to participate in the Legislative process and meet with myself and key stakeholders to work on the bill.
Consider helping us amplify this message by sharing it with students in our community. If you have any questions about this or any resources that may be available to you, call my office at (209) 948-7479. As always, it is a pleasure being of service.
Mental Health Moments
Mental health tip:
Positive self-talk is an important part of self care. Use positive self-talk to remind yourself (either in your head or out loud) that you are okay, you are strong, and you will not give-up. You can even use positive self-talk to remind yourself to use your coping/calming skills.
Some self-talk ideas:
I can do this!
I am awesome!
I am capable
I am smart
I am funny
