Celebrations- Friday March 15th, 2013

Today in Communities we had a guest speaker from World Relief come in and speak to the students about his job, which was to help settle refugees here in Wisconsin. He spoke to the whole group, then to a smaller group of students that could use his expertise with their Multicultural projects.

We also had the traditional Celebrations with students today, but with a bit of a twist. The Celebrations time is a time for all of Communities to celebrate the week and have a raffle conducted by Mr. Schinkten. Students at this time are able to nominate other students and teachers for something that they have done which they think is worthy of being reconized and deserving to recieve another ticket for the raffle. Some groups of students spoke to the group about what they're doing. One group spoke about the clothing drive that they're having and turning into an Advisory Challenge. Advisory challenges are competitions between the advisories. Another group who spoke was the Apparel Committee, who spoke about how the students are going to have the chance to design the first t-shirt for Communities. The t-shirt design has to include the Communities logo.
