THE ONE-WORD SHIRT ACTIVIST PROJECT

THE ONE-WORD SHIRT

History teachers, PTO/PTA's, Student Governments and students can participate in this artistic activity to increase awareness of the proposed cuts to your SCUSD education.

Here is how it works:

ü          Get a T-shirt. If there are words or a picture already on your T-shirt, turn it inside out.

ü          Get some fabric paint, markers, or a sharpie.

ü          On the back of your ONE-WORD SHIRT choose at least one of Superintendent Raymond’s proposed cuts to your education and clearly write this on the back of your T-shirt.  A listing of proposed cuts is provided on this blog. Just click on the link called "Proposed Cuts By Superintendent Raymond" in the archive section on the left-hand side of this blog.

ü          On the FRONT of your ONE-WORD SHIRT write only ONE WORD that you feel describes Superintendent Raymond’s proposed cuts.

ü          Rude or vulgar words, although tempting, will not be tolerated or effective. When you’ve only got ONE WORD, than make it count!

Here is a list of ONE WORD to choose from. If you want to add another word, email donnapreston7@gmail.com and I will add it to this list.

Make your  ONE WORD count:

·         Atrocious

·         Bad

·         Deflating

·         Demeaning

·         Despicable

·         Discouraging

·         Frightening

·         Hideous

·         Oblivious

·         Ridiculous

·         Sad

·         Terrible

·         Unacceptable

·         Unbelievable

·         Unimaginative

Uninspired
