EDUCATION WEEK!


Now this is a story all about how next week got flipped, turned upside down.  I'd like to take a minute so sit right there, and I'll tell you what we're going to do for Ed. reform....

Next week is is Education week, which means we have a different event to raise awareness everyday, here's the schedule (it's also attached as a flyer if  you're more visual)

Monday 10.22:  
Movie screening of The Lottery cohosted with Teach For America—7:00 pm in Hillel, classroom 3 (that’s the second classroom on left upstairs)
We will also have a awesome visual display up on the LBC Quad, make sure you check it out. 
Also, we will be tabling on Monday by the visual display to get down more emails for the listserv and spread awareness.  Let us know if you're interested in helping out!

TUESDAY 10.23:  
We will have a speaker from the Cowen Institute talk to us about the state of the NOLA education system—6:00 pm in Hillel, classroom 3

WEDNESDAY 10.24: 
Roundtable Discussion based on an article centered around an Education issue—7:00 in the Business School room 101

THURSDAY 10.25:  
School visit to Pride College Prep, an awesome charter school.  We will go see the school, learn how they run, and how they fit in to the crazy NOLA school system—meet at 11:00 am outside of Reily.  
If you can make time for this event it will be well worth your while! Transportation will be provided, so please RSVP to sfertulane@gmail.com if you plan on coming.
I am expecting to be back by around 12:30.  If you want to come but have time restraints, let me know, and we can try to work around it

FRIDAY 10.26:  Find us at FAQ! We will have a visual display, games, and food!

Also please keep in mind our next meeting will be on November 2nd (time and locations TBA)

We're really looking forward to having an awesome Education Week and can't wait to see you at as many of the events as you can possibly attend.  Those with the highest attendance records will be deliciously rewarded at our next meeting (mmmm baked goods).  Don't worry if you can't go to all the events though, we still want to see as much of you as possible!

Also make sure you're following us on Facebook/Twitter and on our listserv!  Email your name to sfertulane@gmail.com
