Pay It Forward. If you've ever seen the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about. For those of you who haven't, here's a short, very general summary:

In the movie, Trevor, the main character, is enthused about the assignment given to him by his social studies teacher, Mr. Simonette, to change the world. Then, he created the movement of "pay it forward;" he would change three people's lives, and, in turn, those three people would each change three other people's lives, and the movement continues, growing exponentially.

Hi!

This year's State Charity is Ronald McDonald House Charities. My Student Council has already started to fundraise for RMHC by donating one (1) dollar from our Fall Homecoming t-shirt sales to RMHC.

We are looking at possibly planning a Charity Week in our second semester, but we were wondering if any of you had ideas of creative fundraising for this charity (or any charity) to excite our student body to donate to RMHC?

Please, if you have done or have an idea of any sort of creative fundraiser for RMHC, please send me an e-mail (see my e-mail address below).

In Leadership,

Ryan Thomas
