Week Eight: Presentation

We had a short week due to all of the activity last week. On Thursday, students prepared for their presentation at morning meeting in front of the school. Members created a slide show about Everyday Leaders and others made posters on the Service Summit and the MLK Day of Service. Students included these myths and facts about homelessness in their power point presentation:

Myth: Homeless children don’t go to school.
Fact: About 88% of homeless children are enrolled in school.

Myth: The homeless are uneducated and unemployed.
Fact: Many homeless people have completed high school and some have attended college.

Myth: Homeless people are dangerous.
Fact: In general, the homeless are among the least threatening and most vulnerable group in our society.


They did a great job in front of their entire school; great job Everyday Leaders!
