Delegate Service Day
Today was Delegate Service Day with the DNC and many of the delegates choose to work in non profits and schools around the Denver Area. Delegates from Illinois and Wisconsin worked with students at the Creative Arts and Science Academy at Cole School. After a warm welcome by the students of Cole, Principal Julie Murgel and Superintendent Michael Bennet both students and delegates engaged in a science lesson about liquids and density. Through discussion, writing and experimenting students learned how to make predictions and to test these predictions.
Contemporary Learning Academy (CLA) engages in democracy on the 16th Street Mall
Students from the Contemporary Learning Academy in Denver Public Schools took to the 16th Street Mall this afternoon to find out what people think about important issues facing our country today. The students stopped pedestrians and asked if they were willing to answer a few questions on a survey they had developed. Questions ranged from inquiring about steps people are taking to help reduce global warming to views on immigration to ideas about the most important issue facing the next president of the United States. These students were engaged in the first steps of bringing solutions to problems we face. The CLA students will take their surveys back to school and analyze the results. They will then create projects and write essays about their findings in order to share them with others. Great job in getting involved in the issues of today!
