The SAVE members at both the high school and middle school are awaiting the 19th annual YCWA conference in Miami. During this conference, students plan to: share ideas, learn new stradegies and have fun!! Twenty-five students and chaperones from both the high school and middle school plan to go on this amazing trip and hopefully they'll bring back some new stradegies and great memories on the way.
During the summer, members of Third Eye have been planning a huge Violence Free Festival for September 25th. During this day, students will pledge to try their hardest to keep their school safe during 2007-2008. We are still in the process of planning and organizing this huge event but some aspects are clear. We hope to have about one bus load of children from every middle school and high school in the state come to the Convention Center in Providence. These kids will be hand picked by their principals to attend this festival. They will have a day out of school and one they will not likely forget. Once at the Convention Center, we will show them a video about Challenge Day and there will probably be some special guest speakers. Bold (probably bright green) t-shirts will be passed out and then everyone will march from the building to the state house where they will be given lunch. A stage will be set up for more speakers and several other events. The main motive of this incredible day is to ensure a violence free school year for the schools in Rhode Island. We believe this will work because the bus load of children from their schools will go back and tell their peers all about their amazing experience. Although details are still being determined, the members of Third Eye are working hard and we believe it will be a success. If this event goes through, we will be the first division of YCWA in the country to have such a huge festival.
Also, S.A.V.E.'s advisor Mr. B. has recently finished teaching the teachers at Coventry High School how to operate GPS systems. Step one in our GIS Three Year Grant is now complete. Now the teachers must help train the freshmen class on how to use these high tech devices. Then the students themselves will go out and put our main plan into action. They will track and locate vandalism around Rhode Island. This will greatly help S.A.V.E. in stopping vandalism.
