Ellie The Governor. I just heard that the state of New Hampshire Has an interesting annual event-- Namely, the government invites a fifth grader To be 'governor for a day'. This year the young governor was Ellie Lively Who proclaimed her 'haupt' agenda-- Combating animal cruelty, Educating Fifth Graders to visit animal shelters, And follow Ellie's example of regularly Reading to shelter animals in her local shelter. If she is successful, other students will do the same, Wherever they reside in the state. We need more of this type of thinking, Also for our 'unsheltered' wild neighbors.
