				<description><![CDATA[For the past three years, sixth through twelfth grade students from Gateways Secondary School in Nampa, Idaho have made more than 100 beanies, 80 scarves, 30 blankets, and 20 robes for local community members in need.  The students worked through the fall semester often giving up free time to work on their projects.  A majority of the money and supplies used to make the students projects was donations the student’s received by handing out flyers and telling people they know about the project they were doing at school.  The donors included a local Baptist Church, the Wild Turkey Federation, and student’s parents, as well as staff members from the school.
You wouldn't know it by watching them knit or tie blankets but all of these students struggle with emotional or behavior problems.  A number of the students live in group homes, foster care, or other therapeutic institutions.  The patience these students displayed amazed me!  Their dedication to create warm items for people from Nampa homeless shelters, the children’s wing of Mercy Medical, the Veterans hospital, and other locations showed the empathy they have towards other is abounding.  Eight of the students were selected to deliver the warm items to the people in need and came back with an appreciation for what they have no matter how little.  When the completion of the project was near, a tenth grade student said, “Mrs. Mantz, I know that we are making these for other people now but do you think I can have one after the project is complete because I’m poor too.”  This student resides at a group home and is supported solely by SSI.  He was able to receive his very own blanket this year.  In fact, each of our students made an extra blanket for a peer.  We call it a Service Learning Project because we know that often we learn more from those we are serving then they learn from us.  ]]></description>

 because he could only do a little."
Burke

Mrs. Michelle Chavez and the Holocaust Literature class of Weiser High School are trying to make a difference.  Mrs. Chavez and her class have challenged their school to recognize human rights, to learn from the past and to prevent future occurrences.  The class created a museum-like enactment of the Remembrance Camp.  The exhibit included displays, artwork, and live presentations.  The Camp was open to the public and to area schools, over 700 people attended.  The Remembrance Camp is now being made into a permanent display housed in the local museum and will be open year round.

				<description><![CDATA[A group of Nampa High Leadership students help to celebrate Human Rights Day on January 17th. With the help of the Nampa Civic Center, they exceeded in connecting the whole city of Nampa. What first started as a community outreach assignment in class, later turned into a whole celebration for the city. The class was seperated in four groups all assinged to help a non profit organization in the city. The Nampa Civic center group consisted of Herendira Gongora, Mei Zhou, Gabriela Gudino, Karen Gudino, and Carolina Albor. These 5 students marketed and produced an event for Human Rights Day, with the help of Patricia Walker White, Nampa Civic Center arts coordinator. The event was free to make it easier for the community to attend. Area middle and high school students were invited to share their opinions, feelings and ideas about what the definition of human rights is in their world and to give a voice to the importance of human and civil rights in any medium they chose. They could draw a picture or create visual artwork, write a poem or eassy, make a movie, creat a photo-essay. Elementary-age students were given a coloring page with the outline of a person and asked to "Color Your World" and also had questions that said "how are we different, "how are we the same?" At the event we honored the contest winners to read their winning enteries. We also hung up ALL the turned in coloring dolls and displayed them at the event which were about more than 1,000 of them. We had a lot on entertainment as well throughout the event. We opened the event with a fellow leadership student Crystal Jones, by singing "Man in the Mirror." Mayor Tom Dale led the Pledge of Allegiance. Then we had the Centennial Hip Hop Patriots- 4th and 5th grade students, who entertained the crowed by signing several songs. Then we had Ballet Folklorico, Irish Dance Idaho, and Red River Pow Wow Association which all performed and helped us remember how diverse our community is. Sam Darbin closed the event by singing "Thankful." After planning for 4 months, we produced an event we can be proud of and hope to start a tradition with. Being different isn't a bad thing. Having a lot of diversity is a good thing and we should treasure that.

				<description><![CDATA[Council High School Entrepreneurship textiles students talked about what they could do to help community. They made projects for school children several times: hats, pajamas, book bags, giant Christmas stockings, funky pillows, Dr Seuss hats, etc. They decided to each make a quilt for a child at MSTI (goal of 50 quilts).  The community donated scrap fabric to make the quilt tops.  Fifty-one unique quilts were finished and will be delivered to St Lukes MSTI, January 26.  CHS boys and girls are excited to deliver their quilts and to have used the skills learned in their class to help others.  ]]></description>
