Inspire!

 Lincoln Southeast DECA is planning a public relations campaign directed towards its students, staff and parents to encourage tolerance.† The Freedom Writers experience will be the catalyst for uniting LSE in this campaign.

Goals of Freedom Writers Project:

∑          TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO READ: The Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them or to view the movie, Freedom Writers.†

 

∑          TO FOCUS ON BUILDING TOLERANCE: To build an understanding of tolerance within students by presenting testimonials of the original Freedom Writers who have overcome major obstacles and worked on acceptance of those different than them.† Three levels of promotion will build awareness of what tolerance is/not, inspiring tolerance, and finally, helping others understand what it means to ìtake a walk in my shoesî using a variety of life situations students face.

 

∑          TO HAVE A SCHOOL ASSEMBLY: To unite and inspire the entire student body and staff of Lincoln Southeast with a school wide mission of bringing Freedom Writer speakers for an all-school assembly.

 

∑          TO RAISE FUNDS:† To raise $6000 to bring 2-3 original Freedom Writers students to LSE for a student assembly in January 2007.†
