The Ripple Effect

4/14/2016

0 Comments

 
On Thursday, April 14th, we talked about how a small group of people can make big change. First grade at PS 516 is like a small drop of water. We may look small, but by getting second grade to help, and kindergarten to help, and Pre-K to help, and families to help, and teachers to help, we can do A LOT! Our ripples keep getting bigger and bigger!

On Tuesday, April 19th, we will present to the PTA. Students from 1-310 will tell the PTA why water is important, students from 1-308 will tell the PTA about the problem in Flint, Michigan, and 1-304 will tell the PTA our ideas for a solution. 1-304 wrote a manifesto to tell the PTA what we want to do to make a change. A manifesto is a statement of the things we want  in order to make change. 

First Grade’s Manifesto about the Water in Flint:
The problem in Flint is devastating and we want to support them!
  • We want to raise money to send to the people of Flint, Michigan.
  • We want to talk to the president, the governor of Michigan, and local legislators.
  • We want everyone at Sunset Park Avenues to work together!
Will you help us? How can we work together?

Many students felt brave and wanted to present. Diana and Joel will present to the PTA for 1-304. Hong Ye and Athena will translate the presentation in Mandarin. Other students will have many opportunities to get involved by presenting to classes at PS 516, making signs, making art, writing letters, etc. Good luck Diana, Joel, Hong Ye, and Athena! We know you'll do great!
