Laura is a child who wants to make a difference in the world. I showed her Twentyfive Days to Make a Difference blog to some students at my school. They were absolutely amazed and inspired by it, and now want to make a difference themselves. I'm sure you will hear from them Laura.
The power of blogging is alive and well. Congratulations Laura, you have started something wonderful. Thanks Sheryl, for alerting me to this blog.
Here are some words from Laura:
- I hope that this inspires other grown ups and kids to make a difference in their communities too, by doing little things. For this reason, I am challenging everyone who reads this blog to TRY to do something every single day during the holiday season to make a difference in his or her world. Even if you can’t do something every day, you can do one small thing to help make your world a better place.
All power to you Laura.

I was looking on the net at the School for the Future in Philadelphia - where they have no desks, but use podiums with computers on and the floor. In this way, they say they can improve the fitness of their students while they learn.
My principal is on the Board of Trustees for a new middle school yet to be built. The other day, he asked the question "If you had a blank canvas, what would a school for the 21st century look like? (We are talking about physical buildings and classrooms, not about equipment and technology).
In effect he does have a blank canvas. What an exciting position to be in!
So I am setting the challenge - if you had a blank canvas, what would your school for the 21st century look like?
