At the CTABC Convention in October I had a conversation with colleague Stephan Ulstein of Bellevue Christian about having a component of the convention be student oriented; a meeting of student leaders about the things that are important to them. We talked about having a meeting of students who were particularly interested in Justice Issues. At FVCHS yesterday we had the inaugural meeting of Students for Justice, a group of student leaders who wish to raise awareness in the student body about justice issues and where possible, take action. We talked about the difference between mercy and justice, about the myriad of things we could get involved with and the possibility of linking with groups at other high schools.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Students for Justice met with us at the convention, shared resources and ideas, led workshops for and with teachers, and met throughout the year doing justice,not just hearing others talk about it. Let me know if you would like to make something like this happen.

Dennis, I would love for our students to be involved in this. I have a Social Justice 10-12 class of 28 students many of whom are on our Model United Nations team and are quite keen to engage in this kind of dialogue action. It would be great for the students and absolutely wonderful for parents and teachers to see student thirst for justice - Dave
