THE STARS MAKE A DIFFERENCE PROJECT 2010-11
The STARS Make A Difference project is an opportunity for Fishers Junior High
School students to make a difference in their own neighborhood by participating in
a meaningful service learning experience.
The foundation for this year's assignment is based on the book, "The Lemonade
Stand: How To Make A Difference 101 - A Guide For Students, Volunteers, and
Other Good-Hearted People" by David Justus, which includes the amazing stories
of real people who stood up to life's lemons and are making a difference.
Two of the stories are from students and will serve as inspiration for club
members. The first story is that of Charlie and Sammie Zipperer, ages 10 and 12,
who after serving at a homeless shelter decided to start their own mission,
"Blankets For The Homeless." They regularly use their money to buy blankets or
get them donated; then on a weekly basis, they visit homeless camps throughout
Fort Myers, Florida where they hand out the blankets and a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich.
Cleveland, TN who after spending time with some military personnel saw the need
for entertainment among the troops. She wanted to help and decided to donate
some of her CDs and DVDs. This effort lead to the foundation of Tunes For The
Troops, a nationwide effort to send entertainment to the troops, which has donated
more than 475,000 CDs and DVDs.
