Waiting for Superman Tool-Kit

Hey PF's-

If you haven't seen Waiting for Superman yet, I'd really recommend it.  It elicits a lot of discussion and is a great way to gain hours.

America's Promise, our national partner, has put together a tool-kit to help facilitate discussion for groups after seeing the movie.  This would be a great resource for you if you'd like to take your youth or see it together and discuss afterward.

check it out here: http://www.americaspromise.org/Our-Work/Grad-Nation/Waiting-for-Superman.aspx

For a trailer of the movie, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKTfaro96dg

Cheers!

Minnesota Without Poverty

Hey y'all! While at 10-10-10 today (which was fabulous, btw), I got to chatting with a very inspiring woman by the name of Nancy Maeker. She works for an organization called A Minnesota Without Poverty. She told me about a great project they're putting together, and I thought it might be something you SCPs would like to try with your students or youth groups, if you are in need of a lesson or teaching materials. The campaign is called, "In Search of Enough," and it aims to discuss some important questions: What is enough? Who has enough? What does enough look like? And so on. They want people (young and old) to create art that will be displayed from Duluth and Fergus Falls to Rochester and Willmar. If you're interested in learning more, email Nancy at nancymaeker@mnwithoutpoverty.org or by phone at 612-310-9560... this could be a great Civic Engagement opportunity...

Deadline for entries is April 29, 2011!
