ok...as you can see...we are in 239...today's plan:
1. Read..... from today's paper
We begins with you
Me to We 2007 Me To We Day MeToWe.org Me to We
National Me to We day challenges Canadian youth to live their lives as socially aware global citizens.
Marc and Craig Kielburger
It's hard to believe it's been a year since we packed Ricoh Coliseum with students, educators and social leaders for our very first National Me to We Day.
Tomorrow, we do it all over again.
This year's event promises to be even more exciting than last year's. More than 7,500 youth from 40 school boards will watch the event live, in person. But this year, we're reaching out to hundreds of thousands more across the country through a live webcast at ctv.ca/metowe.
An incredible lineup of speakers are donating their time, including Mia Farrow, Justin Trudeau, Nate Berkus and the cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation, as well as entertainers Sarah McLachlan, Crash Parallel and the new Canadian Idol winner, Theo Tams. We will also hear from some remarkable young people who are making a difference in the world.
The energy at Me to We Day is an incredible thing to experience – and it's an energy that lives on once the microphones are turned off. You see, Me to We is more than just a one-day event. It is something that each of us can adopt into our daily lives.
When the day is finished, thousands of students will return home and begin taking action in their schools, their homes and their communities.
Through these actions, we can make a real difference in the world.
Me to We represents a shift in thinking – a philosophy of spreading a positive message and making one's voice heard. It's about embracing our shared humanity and thinking about our choices in a connected global context.
The Internet and other advancements in technology have virtually eliminated borders, and the goods we purchase often travel through different countries before reaching our checkout counter.
That means every dollar we spend, every action we take and every vote we cast will have a profound effect on the world.
That means we cast votes every day, not just during an election.
Ask yourself, where was my shirt manufactured? Who picked the beans for my morning coffee? What are the changes I can make that could change someone else's life for the better?
Through the small things – a warm conversation, a compassionate decision or a change in priorities – we can face the world's challenges and truly make an impact.
This is the shift from "me" to "we." And it's this shift we are celebrating tomorrow.
At this year's National Me to We Day, we will launch our newest initiative. It's called the 100 School Challenge and it's your chance to make a real difference.
For the 2008-09 school year, we are challenging all parents, educators and community members to help us raise enough funds to build 100 schools.
Each school we build will help change the lives and communities of young people in the developing world. Visit freethechildren.com for more information.
We believe that education is the best way to empower families to break the cycle of poverty.
At the same time, we believe it will empower you to get involved.
History shows us that every great social movement began with one incontestable truth: somebody did something.
Now it's your turn to take action.
Think "we." Pass it on.
Craig and Marc Kielburger co-founded Free the Children
2. work on:
Pep Rally....next wednesday....banners/ideas...meeting today at lunch
Spirit Squad...separate meeting at lunch
Haunted House...in less than 2 weeks....need ideas...a list of supplies needed
Coffee House....
Remembrance day
Bracelets....we need woodstock walmart hemp visit
Bulletin Board....1-3 people to make attractive bulletin board for showcase in upper hallway near drama room
Hallowen for Hunger....see info
If you have nothing to work on (doubtful and probably mistaken and somewhat worrisome, but anyway...).....everyone will be producing their own Me to We @IDCI promotional poster to be displayed around town (and marked as curriculum task)....the sooner we start on these the better but today is probably needed to work on these big projects
