Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows on May 26 hosted student artists from King Middle School and Sweetland School in Hope, for a viewing of the students’ artwork and poetry on display in the Secretary of State’s main office. Maine artist Rob Shetterly and Assistant House Majority Leader Rachel Talbot Ross of Portland also were in attendance.
The students made the artwork in partnership with Americans Who Tell the Truth, a nonprofit arts and education organization founded to foster and inspire a profound sense of citizenship in students.
