Transcript of Rword Intro
Welcome to Atascocita Middle School
Home of the Tigers… but much more than that, we are the Home
of Acceptance!
Kicking off the Erase the R-word Campaign
January 20th, 2010
We started off this meeting by watching a PSA for the Erase the R-word Campaign. What was really neat, is that our
guest speaker for today was in the video. And so was
“Jimmy” from The Ringer, which we saw a clip from at
our last meeting.
Guest SpeakerChristine Victory from the Humble-
Kingwood Special Olympics was our Speaker. She talked about some of
the things she does as a Special Olympics Athlete.
She also showed us all the different sports that her team participates in.
They talked about how we could play on a team with the Special
Olympics Athletes.
After Christine, we learned about what the R-word meant and why we wanted to pledge to erase it. We talked about starting a school wide fundraiser called “Put a lid on the R-word”. Students could pledge to erase the R-word, buy one of the R-word stickers for $1.00, and then the next day they could wear a cap
to school all day!
We set a goal to collect 200 signatures of people who would pledge to Erase the
R-word with us. After only one week and
our first “Put a lid on the R-word”
Campaign we already have almost 600!
