Happy Holidays

Happy hollidays to every one at BCD. As you are enjoying your loot and having a wonderful meal, take a moment to think about all those prisoners who are locked up, mistreated, and starving. It's not to late, you can still send any of the prisoners a holiday card. Just follow the link that I included in the post about our second meeting. Once again Happy Holidays and have a very good new year.

Great news!

Our group and blog is on the BCD website in the news section. Just so you know, the site should give credit to Madame Cole, Malcolm Drenttel, Dylan Cole-Kink, and Rody Lipson. Click here to see the update.

Mailing list

Finally! With some trouble, i have been able to set up a mailing list for our Amnesty group. If you would like to be a part of this, email me (colekink@gmail.com), and i will add your email or your parent's email to the subscribers list. When you are added, you will recieve a welcome message explaining the purpose of this mailing list and how to use it. The list will be similar to this blog, but you will be emailed instead of having to visit this site.

Thank you!

2nd Meeting

We held our second meeting on Wednsday. We set up two bulletin boards. The one in the hallway is to let students at BCD know what our group is currently doing. The one in the pm room is one of two we attempted to post but the second one didn't work out. This bulliten board has info on our current special focus case. We started our letter writing campaign which is the main focus of our group. If you wrote a letter please remeber to mail it with a 84 cent stamp because it is going to Ethiopia. Some of you may have recieved a holiday post card to send to Mesfin Woldermariam. Here is a link to a page where you can print out holiday cards to many prisoners of consience from across the globe. Please note that Amnesty is not a political organization and it is strictly for the purposes of protected people's human right's. We are not Democrats of Republicans, we are just trying to make the world a better place.

Hey you guys.

If you are thinking about coming to our next meeting [Which is on Wednesday] but you can't decide, consider this, you dont miss recess, you get to do somthing great for the world, and you get to hang out with Mrs.Cole[Dylans mom, the coolest teacher ever!

Sorry

I apologize about advisee lunches. We'll have a meeting next week. Remember, if you were sitting at the table to the right, find things about human rights in general for the bulletin board. If you were sitting in the middle table or you are a seventh or eigth grader, find things about Amnesty International. If you were sitting at the left table, find things about our man Mesfin Woldermariam.
