In 7A we collected $ 41.42 for Haiti. Now we are collecting money for our end

of the year field trip. So if you would like to help us you are welcome to bring

pennies, dimes,quarters,etc.

We are in a group for reading and we are all reading a book about the

Holocaust. So far we are liking the books we are reading.

We are also doing Generation Citizen it is To fulfill our mission, Generation Citizen brings trained college volunteers into high school classrooms for a semester-long, state education standards-aligned, action-oriented course on effective citizenship. Mentors and students explore how to bring substantive change through lessons centering on the political system, and the course culminates with the class taking collective action on a student-selected local issue.

Generation Citizen believes it can create lasting social change by teaching urban high-schoolers the knowledge, skills, and motivation they need to effectively participate in American democracy. Generation Citizen students learn about the political process not from textbooks, but by engaging in it—meeting with representatives, lobbying local legislators, organizing letter-writing campaigns, writing opinion pieces for newspapers, and making documentaries about community issues. 

To promote democracy in low-income communities, Generation Citizen works with high schools students to:Analyze the basic concept of American democracy and the ideals of individual and collective citizenship.

• Cultivate a sense of agency as students recognize their roles as catalysts for change.

• Develop an in-depth understanding of avenues for effective political action.
