LOCUST GROVE The halls of Locust Grove High School were a bit different this past Friday. Students otherwise dressed in clothes displaying their favorite brands or sports teams were walking around wearing homemade T-shirts with green hand prints painted on them. A fashion statement? Hardly. The T-shirts were made and worn in effort to encourage questions and interest on the global crisis in Syria and the Middle East.
For the entire week, Mrs. Ellis Government classes have been working diligently on research, projects, videos, and even T-shirts in order to not only learn about the issues in Syria, but to raise awareness to their peers and community. The classes have teamed up with the nonprofit media based campaign called I am Syria to bring awareness to the conflicts in the Middle East while still highlighting the standards within their own curriculum.
