Tell the World there is Hope
Life is beautiful, but through media's overemphasis on problems, chaos, and crises around the world, its real loveliness fades in the eyes of the present generation. Reality bites indeed, but that should not keep you from participating in TELL THE WORLD THERE IS HOPE. Imagine the cascading effects your participation bring to the whole community if you commit yourself to show the good side of life by demonstrating what one can do to make a difference. It's never too late as long as we act and sincerely commit to “do one good thing” for humanity. One simple act of kindness can bring us a long way, especially if we aim to create synergy- of- hope avatars around the world.

Portraiture
This is a unit with two parts; human portraiture and animal portraiture. Each part emphasizes learning about artists and their work (art history and culture), analysis of facial proportions, (aesthetic perception), creating portraits using digital and traditional materials (creative expression), and evaluation of artwork (art criticism). These elements of art will be addressed using games, quizzes, on-line and on-paper drawing, and writing activities designed to encourage students to view and evaluate each others work.

Save the PlanetStart Doing Something About Global Warming
The primary goal of this learning module is to educate the students and classes that participate, about global warming, the scientific basis for global warming and basic understanding of energy consumption necessary to affect change. This should include the ability to spot wasteful management of energy, as well as to gain an understanding of the methods and tools now available to reduce one’s carbon footprint, and to put together a plan of action for the individual, the family, the school, and perhaps the community and the cities in which the students live.
