Voices of Hope

Although on February 20th, the morning started off windy and blistering cold, bright and joyful faces scurried into Eastview's Performing Arts Center with warming hearts full of happiness, ready to sing. Voices of Hope is a new tradition at Eastview. Eastview's second hour Women’s Choir Chorale, directed by Judy Sagen, planned a full day of singing, and having all proceeds benefiting families who have been affected by cancer.

Choirs, soloists, and amateur bands joined the day long festivities from all over the Twin Cities. Within Eastview, Spanish classes, Faculty, Administration, and parents took time out of their schedules to perform. Over the entire day, Northfield choir, Falcon Ridge middle girls’ choir, soloists, etc. donated a portion of their boosters to the new foundation.

The Choir department set up a beautiful stage and heart-warming atmosphere. The color White, symbolizing ‘The white coat of compassion’ was found everywhere within the Performing Arts Center, from hundreds of balloons bunched into striking archways, to the Choir’s T-shirts. Even the TV screens that were playing a slideshow of names of cancer patients and cancer victims (each screen was ‘donated’ from the family) were delicately designed in white.

Although the grand total is still being calculated, the goal of Eastview’s girls’ Choir Chorale was $25,000. All of the proceeds are going to a non-profit organization, The Angel Foundation. The Angel Foundation started in 2001 and has the intentions for helping people with cancer and their families through stability, education, support, and emergency financial assistance. “What inspires me most about the foundation is the depth of compassion,” stated a volunteer from the Angel Foundation.

Despite the atrocious subject of cancer and sickness, Eastview’s Womens' Choir Chorale made the issue in a better focus of compassion and was extremely successful.

Five freedoms in First Amendment:
1. Religion
2. Speech
3. Press
4. Assembly
5. Petition

The first amendment does not regulate the behavior of private schools. However, state law or school policy could provide legal protections....
Tinker Standard - Supreme court case that recognizes that the first amendment protects on-campus student speech. Neither students nor teachers "shed their constitutional rights of freedom of expression or speech at the schoolhouse gate"

The Fraser Standard - He gives a ten minute speech containing all sexual inuendos. He gets suspended. He sews for the freedom of speech. Goes all the way to the supreme court. he loses. Because school officials have an "intrerest in teaching students the boundaries of socially appropiate behavior".

The Hazelwood Standard - School newspaper with articles about teen pregnancy, devorce, teen marrage. The u.s supreme court rules that schools have the right to censor issues if they think that it goes against the teaching of the schools. The ruling was related to teaching concerns. In the mind of teaching, consorship can occur if it goes against what is being taught.

The Fredrick Standard - Students make a sign that says obsene things and it goes on t.v. They are not on school grounds, and principle comes over, takes the sign, and suspends them. They rule for the school, because it was a school activity.

(3)I chose the 'Marketing 50' Category. In this category, there is a list of the top marketers.

(5)I chose to look at the review of the Snickers commercial with Mr.T and the butt-wiggling race walker is just too effeminate for Mr. T's liking. "You a disgrace to the man race!" he bellows. "It's time to run like a real man!" -- whereupon he mows down the terrorized wimp with a candy-spewing Gatling gun. The message: "Get some nuts!" Bob Garfield doesn't agree with this ad he says it unglorifying to the un-macho. I don't agree with him, I think it's a creative way to catch the readers attention.
