Interesting Idea

Invisible Children is coming!

After lots of phone calls and emails, we have set up a screening with Invisible Children! The screening will be on April 22nd at St. Luke Lutheran Church in Gales Ferry form 6:00 pm until 7:00 pm. Our attendance goal for the screening is 200 people, so we are going to need to work hard to promote this screening around school and within our community.

For now you can spread the word that IC is coming by telling your friends and getting them excited. Explain to the people you talk to that this year, IC wants Joseph Kony to be captured and taken to the International Criminal Court, and they want to spread the story of the war the LRA has been waging against the innocent people of central Africa to as many people as possible. On Facebook you can share IC's Kony 2012 video explaining their tour for this year. Also, the world primer of IC's Kony 2012 movie will be on march 5th at 12:00 pm PST, so at 3:00 pm on the east coast, on the Kony 2012 website.

We will talk more about this at our next meeting. Try to brainstorm creative ways we can advertise the event.

Ideas for AI Awareness Week

Here are some of the ideas we had for our upcoming AI awareness week. Please email me any ideas that were left out at ledyardai@gmail.com.

• Trivia questions for morning meetings, whichever morning meeting answers the most questions correctly out of each class gets a reward, the overall winner will get a pizza party
• Announcements during morning meeting each day or posters around school about different causes AI has helped
• Have everyone wear their Amnesty shirts at the end of the week on April 27th
