Trailer for the feature film of Invisible Children!

Whoa! Guys and gals, I may have told you that Jason, Bobby, and Laren of Invisible Children are working on a full length version of their film. I just found the "teaser" trailer, and as you can see below, it goes beyond what we've already seen in our version.




Intense stuff!

You'll be glad to know that the staff was very receptive to the film today (Monday, Jan. 19). They are getting behind the book drive even more, and some classes will begin a 1st hour competition to see who can bring in the most books, DVDs and CDs. Also, released library books are fine, so let's go out and find them!
T-shirts will be here Thursday. Make sure you bring your money by Wednesday. Also, Mrs. Brice has contacted the Baldwin Library to see if they have any extras they'd like to donate.
Also, in order to collect as many books as possible, we may have to consider extending the book drive one more week to include other schools in the district so that they can have their own "micro" drives. This would mean that we'd miss out on the contest, but since we had such a late start on it to begin with, I don't know how much of a chance we had. One question to think about is: why are we doing this? Are we doing this for a contest? Or are we doing this so that we can help out those who are in desperate need of a better life?
We'll talk on Tuesday in class.
