After reading the article “Silk and Solutions,” explore the Heifer International web site and browse the projects they are currently funding. (Click on the “Our Work” tab and then click on “Current Projects.”)  If the team were able to raise some money to donate to Heifer International, which project do you think we should support, and why?

In the past, Team 7-1 has raised money to buy livestock for communities in need around the world.  Check out the video about the fund raising below.

To help us honor Veterans Day, Team 7-1 welcomed LTC Scott Hamilton.  He is a lieutenant colonel in the Army and a teacher at West Point. He is also Kelsey’s uncle. Students asked many questions about the military, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his experiences. Thank you to LTC Hamilton.
