duncan is the first ucs student to finish his novel for national novel writing month!!
we are coming to the end of the month – all of our novel writers are finishing up! go nanwrimo-ers!
from their website:
“YouMedia @ CPL is an innovative, 21st century learning space, housed at the Harold Washington Library, created to connect young adults, books, media and institutions throughout the city in one dynamic space designed to inspire collaboration and creativity…
The goal, in time, is to increase substantially the number of youth in Chicago who use online resources and new media as tools to engage in inquiry about their neighborhoods, the city, and the world.”
the 10th-12th grades will head to youmedia on thursday to do a movie making workshop!
the national novel writing month is going well! many of our students came together last saturday from 10 am to 5 pm to have a write-in. donna hosted the students in the seventh floor living room where a good time was had by all! 
many of the ucshigh students attended a viewing of a new invisible children film {featuring our ucshigh alumnus, natalie warne} they want everyone to sign this petition and contact their congressmen about this issue:
“invisible children is trying to get their bill of disarmamentation signed by all the people of congress so obama will help us imprison joseph kony. the only two [out of our 4 congressmen] who have not signed the bill are mike quigley and richard durbin.”

for girl scouts, we went to shabbona lake and there were 2 nice cabins right by the lake. after moving all our stuff inside we explred and decided to go for a hike. the hike was nice, bur we saw a river on the side of the path and we wanted to go across to the other side. donna and jane let us! we took off our shoes and socks and waded back and forth several times. it was freezing and AWESOME!

UCS sponsors a Compassion International child. Her name is Alice and she lives in Rwanda. In order to come up with the sponsorship money, we have done many creative things. Wear green, bring green day on St. Patrick’s Day is one of the biggest successes.
In a more ongoing effort, Donna buys candy in bulk and then the kids can buy individual candies from her. These here warheads are 5¢ a piece (i can’t understand the appeal, personally!) so here is what happened one day when we all tried the warheads.
