Hi ISS members,

Please ask your social science & english teacher if he or she will allow you to make this announcement:

" International Student Society (ISS) will be initiating the Half the Sky Movement on December 17th (Next Monday). The Half the Sky Movement is cutting across platforms to ignite the change needed to put an end to the oppression of women and girls worldwide, the defining issue of our time. If you are interested in being a part of this movement, please stop by at C305 (Mr. Williams room) at lunch on Mondays.

We will be basing our discussions off of the book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Most social science or English teachers in PACE have offered extra credit for participation. Please check with your teachers for details on their offer. Depending on the teachers' request, we will require reports, prezis, essays, graphic illustrators, or presentations for proof of participation for the extra credit.

Mr. Andrews is offering 1 week of no notes
Mr. Williams' extra credit is relative to the quality of the product
Mr. Harmony's is offering twice the amount of xtra credit than for other xtra credit offers

Change is possible, and you can be part of the solution.

Look for I.S.S tomorrow at food fair, we will be selling creamy chicken bakes and crispy coca-cola for 4 tickets. "

Please make the announcement thursday/Friday ASAP!!!!!!!!

Thank you,
