GEORGETOWN

The Civil Rights Team at Georgetown Central School started a little bit after winter break and the meetings stopped on June 4.

Mrs. Webber-Taft had been coming to school to join Mrs. Thibodeau as well as most of the fifth and fourth grades.

In the beginning of Civil Rights Team, we made a small newsletter that was sent home to every student in our school. After that, we decided to split up into smaller groups and work on some of our own projects.

My group decided to make a civil rights video in which a kickball game is taking place but one person is left out. No one wants this girl on her team but another student stands up for her and they carry on with the game. One of the other groups was planning to do a cartoon, and will finish it next year.

To end the Civil Rights season, the students who were a part of the team were invited to attend a Civil Rights Sea Dogs baseball game. There were 800 students at the game, including the students from Georgetown. All of the Civil Rights Teams there were able to go onto the field and walk the perimeter. Despite the heat, it was still fun. Plus, the Sea Dogs won the game!

Being part of the Civil Rights Team is a great experience and you should join one.
