LCPS gets into the Me To We spirit
BY GARi REED
Sentinel Staff
The Me To We
movement has
been exploding
around North
America and the
world for the past
few years and at
Lucknow Central
Public School it
was no different on
Nov. 25. The Grade
7 and 8 students of
LCPS kicked off
their own move-
meat by holding a
Me To We assem-
bly to get the whole
school into the
spirit of things..
Me To . We was
started by brothers
Craig and Mark
Kielburger and it is'
a family of social
enterprises that is
challenging
notions of con-
sumption, and
redefining the rela-
tionship between
business and chari-
ty. , Me to We itself
is neither ‚a tradi-
tional charity nor
an ordinary corpo-
ration. The goal is
to change the
world. They are
helping Free The
Children become
sustainable in their
work, supporting
them in . their goal
to end poverty and
thus put them-
selves out of a job.
The LCPS Me
To We club pre-
sented the school
with a presentation
of • six countries
they were ' looking
at where they
would choose a vil-
lage in one of 'the
countries to sup-
port. The countries
chosen were Sri
Lanka, Sierra
Leone, . China,
India, Ecuador and
Kenya. The coun-
try that was chosen
by the school, 'was
Sierra Leone. They
are still waiting to
confirm a country
as they sharing the
country with
Ripley Huron
Public School.
Every student at
the assembly was
given a penny and
asked to choose the
country they would
liked to be selected
by . dropping a
penny in. a box
labeled with the
country of their
choice. The Me To
We club wanted to
get the school
involvedin . the
selection process
and to get into the
spirit of Me To . We.
"Today we are
looking to make a
difference in the
world," said Grade
8 student Stacey
Whitehead. "There
are so many coun-
tries iri the world
living in poverty in
the world and it's
just not right.
Helping a village
in a third world
country is some-
thing we can do to
make the world a
better place to
live."
Grade 7 and 8
teacher and Me To
We leader Lee Ann
Maki said they
wanted to make
LCPS- aware of
what Me To We is
and they decided to
kick things off
before the
Christmas holiday
because the Me To
We club will be
doing a lot of
fundraising
throughout the
school year. The
fundraising . won't
just go towards the
village in Sierra
Leone, but the club
wants to give
towards communi-
ty projects. Maki
and . the club feel
it's just as impor-
tant
mportant to support
• local and global
needs.
"It's community
as well. It's not just
about adopting a
village in another
country to sup-
port," said Maki.
"If we feel there is
something in the
community that
needs our help,
we'll Tundrai se for
that as well."
"Sometimes you
just have to look
out your back door
to see issues that
need help, instead
of `looking across
the globe," added
Whitehead.
Excitement for
Whitehead and the
rest of the group is
an understatement
for her as she is all
enthusiastic to start
helping those in
need.
"We are
pumped! I am so
excited to get
things started,"
said Whitehead.
"We just have to
get the rest of the

Me To We club's
kick off assembly
on Nov. 2S. The
assembly was to
make the school
aware of global and
local issues.
school excited too,
so that's why we
are trying to do a
big kick off today,"
added Maki. "I
don't think it will
be that big of a
problem because
we have great stu-
dent leaders."
