Help the kids in your life take the Good Citizen Challenge, a fun and engaging civics project powered by Seven Days. They can choose from 25 activities that encourage them to learn about and help improve their communities.
All K-8 students who complete and submit activities will receive a Good Citizen sticker and will be entered in drawings to win prizes, including $50 gift cards to Phoenix Books, a 2025 Vermont State Parks vehicle pass, tickets to see the Vermont Lake Monsters or Vermont Green FC, and the grand prize — a free trip to Washington, D.C., from Milne Travel. We’ll acknowledge excellent work and give away the grand prize at a Statehouse reception on September 19.
Submit activities to the Challenge by noon on Wednesdays to qualify for weekly prize drawings on Thursday mornings during the 6 a.m. newscast on WCAX-TV Channel 3. We'll be up early and giving out prizes all summer long! The last chance to enter is Labor Day, September 2.— Grace Gillman, 8, Burlington

[Re the June 5, 2024, issue of Seven Days]: “I found the jazz fest article interesting. This year I got to go to the jazz fest for my school’s jazz band, and it was cool to learn about other musicians playing at the jazz fest. I was surprised how well known these musicians were.”
