MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Truman Scholarship Foundation is:

The Federal Aviation Association is taking applications
Share this with your friends
Pass this one to your children, or anyone who is seeking
employment. I know some people wish they were between these ages. (smile)
FYI...
The Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air
traffic controller school. ( Ages of 18-31 with a high school diploma)
If you have or know kids between the ages of 18-31 with a high
school diploma. The Federal Aviation Association is taking applications
for air traffic controller school. We all have kids and know kids in the
right age group (under 31) and with some effort they could reach a
salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years. You need only a
high school diploma to apply and credit is given for college on the
exam. They need to go to faa.gov
http://www.faa.gov/jobs/job_opportunities/airtraffic_controllers/ for
details and to fill out the application immediately - even if they don't
know if they'd want to attend immediately - it's the federal government
and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW.
There will be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and
they need to line up training to accommodate these openings. It's my
understanding that the FAA rarely has an open application such as this
and that the jobs are coveted. The person who shared this has a 28 year
old daughter who is well into 6 figures and has plenty of time for
travel/recreation and has started another career on the side. This is a
gr eat opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like
Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the
training program - after-which you can transfer anywhere in the country
that has a tower. I hope you pass this information on to family,
friends,etc.
"Things will stay the same until the pain of change is less than
the pain of staying the same."

Shame of A Nation -- Jonathan Kozol
Jonathan Kozol (born September 5, 1936 in Boston, Massachusetts) is a non-fiction writer, educator, and activist, best known for his books on public education in the United States. Kozol graduated from Noble and Greenough School in 1954[1], and Harvard University summa cum laude in 1958 with a degree in English Literature. He was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to Magdalen College, Oxford. He did not, however, complete his Rhodes, deciding instead to go to Paris to write a novel. He spent four years there writing his only published work of fiction, The Fume of Poppies, and getting to know the likes of William Styron. It was upon his return that he began to tutor children in Roxbury, MA, and soon became a teacher in the Boston Public Schools. He was fired for teaching a Langston Hughes poem, as described in Death at an Early Age, and then became deeply involved in the civil rights movement. After being fired from BPS he was offered a job to teach for Newton Public Schools, the school district that he had attended as a child, and taught there for several years before becoming more deeply involved in social justice work and dedicating more time to writing.
Kozol has since held two Guggenheim Fellowships, has twice been a fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation, and has also received fellowships from the Field and Ford Foundations.
Kozol also has worked in the field of social psychology. Kozol is currently on the Editorial Board of Greater Good Magazine, published by the Greater Good Science Center of the University of California, Berkeley. Kozol's contributions include the interpretation of scientific research into the roots of compassion, altruism, and peaceful human relationships.

Rafe Esquith Lecture
Rafe Esquith is an American teacher at Hobart Boulevard Elementary School, the second-largest elementary school in the United States, located in Los Angeles, California. A graduate of UCLA, Esquith began teaching in 1981. His teaching honors include the 1992 Disney National Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award, a Sigma Beta Delta Fellowship from Johns Hopkins University, Oprah Winfrey’s $100,000 Use Your Life Award, Parents Magazine’s As You Grow Award, National Medal of Arts, and Esquith was made an honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth.
Esquith's fifth-grade students consistently score in the top 5% to 10% of the country in standardized tests. Many of Esquith's students start class at 7:00 each morning, two hours before the rest of the school's students. Most of his students come from immigrant Central American and Korean families and are learning English as a second language. They volunteer to come early, work through recess and stay as late as 5:30 pm, and also come to class during vacations and holidays.
Each year the Hobart Shakespeareans, as Esquith’s students are known, perform one of the Shakespeare's plays. They have opened for the Royal Shakespeare Company, been hired by Sir Peter Hall to perform A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles and appeared at the Globe Theater in London.

Oratorical Contest
The Ohio Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission is committed to educating children about Dr. King's legacy of brotherhood among all people. Ohio MLK Holiday Commissioner Mildred Clark founded an oratorical contest in her hometown of Toledo 23 years ago to recognize Dr. King and involve children in that city's annual MLK celebration. In 1998, the first-place winners from Toledo spoke at the annual state Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Celebration in Columbus, and in 1999, the state Holiday Commission adopted the program.
The 2007 statewide oratorical contest was held on April 20, 2007 at the King Arts Complex in Columbus. The theme was "Carring the Torch: Dedicating My Life To The Dream." The contest has a total of five divisions: Kindergarten; primary (grades 1-3); intermediate (grades 4-5); junior (grades 6-8); and senior (grades 9-12).
There were again regional contests that sent their first, second and third place presenters to take part in the state competition. Those regional contests include: Cleveland/Oakwood Village, Columbus and Toledo. In order to take part in the statewide contest, participants had to first take part in regional contests. Those students that do not have a regional contest within their area were also encouraged to participate using our online form.

The Ohio Civil Rights Commission is pleased to announce our annual statewide 2008 Martin Luther King, Jr. Art, Writing & Multimedia Contest. The purpose of this contest is to enhance cultural awareness, empowerment, tolerance, and to honor and encourage leadership for a multi-cultural society. Through the example of major role models, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., students creatively interpret these teachings through art, writing, and multimedia. We believe that it is important that the lessons and beliefs that affect students today will encourage them to be leaders for diversity for tomorrow.
What the students see at first as a "contest" is actually a youth leadership development program. The contest serves as a point of entry for the students and the work and thoughtfulness required to complete the project provides a learning and reflective experience. The winners will be honored by community and business leaders at an event that will take place during the month of February 2008 in the state's Capitol. Further, their artwork, essays, and multimedia projects will be proudly displayed throughout the year.
