Vote Early, Vote Often for "We Are Woodrow"

• Hey you can only vote once -- unless you can find another computer. So everyone click on that site and vote! It's great how he came from the middle of the pack of 220 finalists to # 1 in the nation after the Woodrow alums got out the vote. Mr. Moran has a worthy project: Project Title "We Are Woodrow" Description The WWHS Yearbook staff has decided on "We Are Woodrow" for 2009-2010. After creating an annual commemorating the 80th year of our institution, we realized that the static quality of a hardbound, black/white yearbook did not do justice to the colorful stories of our alumni nor truly depict the diverse student body. Based on the style and testimonial concept of the "I am Second" campaign, we'd love to create a dynamic series of anecdotal videos that capture Woodrow's past, present, and future. How will I use the money: The students and I composed last year's 256-page book with a single digital camera. We did our best to go out and cover all the school's events, but many voices still weren't heard. It wasn't until the second semester that we had a permanent classroom. We'd use the $200 to create a welcoming, engaging studio space for participants to feel comfortable expressing how "they" are Woodrow. We'll need a comfortable chair or stool, white background, lighting, and a microphone. Who will benefit: The benefits of this grant will extend from future Wildcats through the current student body and into our proud alumni. Our grassroots community campaign ("Choose Woodrow") attempts to keep the neighborhood kids in public school. Sharing and hearing other testimonials may keep more kids on track. The current group will be given an outlet that many have not been afforded in the past, especially second language learners, and everyone who has the pleasure to hear alumni speak will feel goose bumps. The class of '67 is also producing a DVD from the April 25th 80th. You can see the trailer and order at: http://www.www1967.com/ or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD2kX8goe50 So folks just remember that when you "Choose Woodrow" over another school, your kids will have a vast network of alums behind them - including some Hall of Fame members that St. Marks and Highland Park have erroneously claimed. Who will help Dreher's homeschooled kids in "the real world"?
