Darfur


We have an amazing teacher at Cyprus High School that is helping the students realize

-They can make a difference-

Last year Mr Adams class did a fund raiser. You may have heard about it in the news. The money was used to purchase a tent that will be displayed on the lawn at the White House in Washington, D.C., later this year before it is sent to a family currently forced to sleep in the forests of Africa.. It is called "The Tent of Hope"

I had not heard too much about it until today. We had an assembly that talked about it. Please take a little time to find out for yourselves what it is all about. It will make you cry knowing that this is going on now, in our time.

Now they are trying to raise enough money to send some of the students to Washington to represent Cyprus High School and Utah.

SO HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Come to our concerts to see these students sing and dance their hearts out for a cause that they believe in. Tickets are 5 dollars and will be sold at the door, or you can pre-order tickets at
(801) 298-1811. Support our students and our cause.

We invite you to attend a charity dance concert, “Dance for Darfur.” Students at Cyprus High, Granger High and Kearns High have all united forces to present a fun filled evening with a deeply profound message. The concert dates are
September 29, 2008 at Granger High at 7:00 PM,
September 30, 2008 at Cyprus High at 7:00 PM and at
Kearns High on October 1, 2008 at 7:00 PM.

All proceeds and donations go to sending students from Cyprus, Granger and Kearns to Washington. Remember “students bring the world peace.”

What a great project. I love things that help young adults really see outside of their own lives and realize that there's a big world out there and not everyone has such simple luxuries such as a place to live or clean water.
