THE WEEKLY AGENDA

March 27-31:  Participate in Equality Film Festival.  Students will have the opportunity to explore the struggle for civil rights, women's rights, disability rights, or LGBTQ rights by viewing films of their choice.  Film is often used to raise awareness about injustice, build empathy, and foster understanding of diverse perspectives.  It can also perpetuate stereotypes or political propaganda.  Students will complete a viewing guide in which they identify the key message of the film they watch while considering the evolving fight for equal rights in America through the lens of the 14th amendment.
​
Homework:  Read what critics had to say about the films you watched and use it to complete your critical review:
Perry Service Learning (PSL) is an elective for seniors at Perry High School that combines English and social studies curricula with volunteer opportunities to promote social involvement through education and service. 
The class strives to help students answer the question, "What does my community need from me?"  Service is an integral component of the class with each student volunteering 2 hours per week with one of over 40 community partners.

UPCOMING EVENTS

PSL ANNUAL FUND: PSL students will be reaching out to alumni, family, and friends during the month of November in an effort to raise money for the PSL annual fund.  The annual fund generates revenue that supports meaningful service experiences including plunges, field trips, and student run programs. The PHS Giving Garden, Pirate Power Pack Program, PSL Kitchen, Green Team, and Student Philanthropy Program would not be possible without the generous support of annual fund donors.   
SCREENING OF THE FIRST DAY:  SADD is teaming up with PSL to offer a screening of The First Day featuring former college and NBA star Chris Herren.  This event coincides with our study of addiction and recovery.  A representative from Crossroads will lead a follow-up conversation after the screening.  The event begins at 7pm in the PHS Media Center. 
HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE SPONSORED BY RE/MAX INNOVATIONS: The holiday food drive runs from Dec. 2-9, 2022.  PSL students will be collecting non-perishable food items, cleaning supplies, and paper products at the entrance of IGA.  Collection boxes are also available in block 2 classrooms at PHS, the PHS office, and PAC.  All proceeds will go directly to The Perry Center which provides basic needs to people who live, work, attend school, or go to church in Perry.
