Most would have laughed off the challenge as a dare, an impossible dream to achieve…
Get a few hundred middle school students to sit down and hand write 25,000 letters in order to support a goal that has no affect on them, their school, families, or daily lives. I did say TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND LETTERS, think about that!
Well, if you’re one of the many who feel this way, it’s safe to say you have yet to meet up with the group of revolutionary students that make up the Jamesville DeWitt Middle School. Thanks to their efforts, lead by their tenacious teachers Melissa Dardaris and Heather Meyers, Two Smiles is happy to announce the return of Darius Weems and the cast and crew of “Darius Goes West” on March 24th, 2009. This time around they will be hosting screenings at Cazenovia College and Marcellus Central Schools and making day trips to several area middle and high schools to make sure that everyone “Knows About It.” This letter writing campaign is part of the ongoing “One Million DVD’s in One Year” campaign. The effort is getting copies of DGW into the hands of educators across the nation and will empower millions with crucial information about DMD. Stay tuned for upcoming screening times and additional information.
With all of my heart, I humbly thank the students involved in this monumental task. You are my heroes and you will save my boys.
Continued Smiles,
Matt
