Media Literacy Week: Nov 3 - 7, 2014 @mbteachers @schmidtsclass

Youth and Social Networking: Connected, Creative, Collaborative

This year's theme encourages teachers and parents to work with young people to promote the wide range of activities they use daily on social platforms.

Mr. Schmidt and a group of students will be at HG Izatt School on Monday to share what George Waters MS is doing. Members of the media, politicians and people from the Manitoba Teachers' Society will all be on hand.

Good luck Mr. Schmidt and students!!

An Example to Get Your School Involved

Attention Mo Bros and Mo Sistas!

This is George Waters Middle School 4th year particiapting in Movember. The staff and students will again this year be celebrating MOVEMBER MONDAY's where we raise money and show our support for men's health and prostate cancer research.
 

 

Moustaches will be sold out side the office every Monday in November for $0.50 - $1.00. All money raised will go towards the GWMS Movember team funds. For those students who wish to wear their own homemade moustaches we would love to see them. We would also love the support if you can afford it so we can help find a prevention/cure for the world's #1 leading cancer in men.

We also have other exciting activities planned throughout the month. Stay tuned for more information.

An Email for Schools about Movember

I have been on the Movember Committee in Winnipeg for a couple of years. I know lots of people in your schools grow moustaches for Movember. Can you please encourage people in your school to officially sign up for Movember? To do so they can visit this link.  https://www.movember.com/ca/register/ 

If they raise a few bucks as well that's a bonus. 

We have been doing this for a few years at GW and the goal is more to raise awareness than raise funds, We want our students to take the message home so their dads, step dads, uncles, older brothers initiate conversations with their doctors about mental health and well being and the early detection of prostate cancer. To learn more about things you can do to get your school involved please check out http://schoolyourmo.blogspot.ca. 

Movember is open to guys (Mo Bro) and girls (Mo Sista) of any age. Older high school kids are also encouraged to sign up and participate.

Once signed up anyone can add themselves to the Manitoba Moustache School Challenge (info below). The more the people the more the fun. There is information about other school challenges as well (Elementary and High School) on the blog too.

There is also a Movember that anyone can download to their device. It has some fun features. It can be found here in the app store. https://appsto.re/ca/DYxlC.i

I have access to posters, prizes, lawn signs, pins etc. At the end of Movember there is a gala party which is lots of fun too and I'll have tickets.

Please forward this to other people is other schools that you think may be interested.

Any questions, please let me know. Thanks for your time. Please forward this to your school conference as well.

Hey there,

This Movember George Waters MS is having fun and doing good alongside fellow Mo Bros and Mo Sistas in the Movember network Manitoba Moustache School Challenge.

Movember networks group individuals or teams together to maximize the power of the moustache. My fundraising total will be counted towards the network total, and we can compete against other networks on the Movember Leaderboards. 

We’re all in this hairy journey together, so join me and the crew today: http://ca.movember.com/mospace/network/view/id/39333
