Checking in

So it's been a while since we've posted. That doesn't mean we haven't been working. The students are busy with school, end of the semester is coming. I've been busy at work. Mr. Bishop is now a new father to baby Brynn. So everyone's been running around. We've been meeting here and there to take care of bits and pieces.

We've been inviting our VIPs to the film premiere. We decided to host the movie Wednesday September 28th from 6:30-8:30 at the aquarium. If you would like more information, please visit our wiki here. You can even RSVP from there. We'd love to have you. We've also been inviting organizations to host informational tables at the premiere. If you are part of an environmental organization and would like to be involved, please email me at capefearstudentsummit[at]gmail[dot]com. I'll send you more information.

We were featured this month on the Ocean Portal website run by the Smithsonian. If you'd like to read about us and other teens who are making a difference, check it out here.

We've also met to discuss the outline of our movie. Today we finally hammered out a great storyline. I'm really proud of the students. We'll be interviewing two more experts in the next couple weeks. We're going to meet with Andy Wood from Audubon NC. He's the education director. You can learn more about him here. I was also approached by Zak Keith from Oceana. He wanted to be involved in our project and has graciously accepted our request to interview him as well. If you would like to know more about Oceana, check out their website here.

There is so much to do before September and we're all only getting busier. I know we'll make things happen and it's very exciting for me when we have such a productive day like today. I'll have one of the students blog about our next two interviews but I wanted to make sure that everyone knew we didn't fall off the face of the earth. Sometimes the behind the scenes work isn't very news worthy. Earth Day is coming up soon. What are you doing to celebrate?

Thanks~ Megan
