Final Week: Reflection

Students did a great job on Friday, April 23rd, Global Youth Service Day, presenting their movie to the entire school. Students worked hard to secure the in-kind donation of Caribou Coffee for parents and teachers who attended morning meeting. Students also worked hard finalizing the petition and got 150 signatures to send off to Representative John Lewis. Since April 24th was rained out -- students will take the petition home with them to ask their family and friends to help support the petition. We will send the entire package to Rep. Lewis on May 10th.

The PSA is posted below. Here is a link to the script.

Students spent the last week reflection on their progress, the positives, and things to work on regarding project planning and just developing as a leader in general. Students recognized their contributions to the group and thought about how far they have come over the year. Students also talked about what comes next--where do they take this new spirit of activism and service? Deep questions that I hope they continue to grapple with for the rest of their lives.

Finally, we discussed our end of year celebration. More details to come as we finalize with a restaurant. I am very proud of each and every leader in our group!
