Speech Topic
School 67 is my current topic to use in the persuasive speech, not only do I myself spend a great deal of time there, but it is connected to University and is just about as local as it can get. School 67 is an Indianapolis Public School which, much like all the IPS schools, is short staffed, overcrowded, and not well funded at all. University supports School 67 in multiple ways, one of the most recognizable being The Spirit Run. School 67 without a doubt is in need of support, both volunteers and funding, with either or both of these, more one on one attention could be given to students, helping them understand the materials of the class and end up in a better place in society later on in life, greatly improving Indianapolis as a whole. With more funding more teachers could be brought in and smaller class sizes could be provided, as well as more and better school supplies to make learning a little easier for everyone.

Jordan,
I like your idea for an organization because it's local and it's known to many of the students at University. I have actually never been to School 67, but I'm glad that you are willing and love spending time with kids. I think it's neat that you enjoy working with these kids so much. Good luck on your speech!
AND GOOD LUCK ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.
Katie
