FJH We the People Nationals
Donation protected
The Fishers Junior High School We the People team
took first place at the Indiana Middle School We the
People competition on Tuesday, December 10, 2019. This
victory was the culmination of months of hard work,
dedication, and diligence on the part of the 26
students in this year’s We the People class and their
teachers, Mr. Mike Fassold and Mr. Tony Sturgeon.
With this win, the team has the opportunity to travel
to Washington D.C. to compete in the 8th Annual
We the People National Invitational, May 1 through
May 5.
The team is beyond excited about this next leg of
their We the People journey. They’ve already jumped
into the next phase of learning, planning, and
practicing for the competition. Ask any of the teens,
and they’ll tell you exactly how many days they have
left until competition. It is impossible to overstate the
amount of time and effort these young people put in
every day to learn about our constitution, the
founding principles of our country, and how they can
work to make it better.
We’re asking our community, friends, and family for
donations to help offset the competition and travel
costs. We the People is an eighth-grade class at
Fishers Junior High. There are no extra school funds
set aside for the team. Please know that every little
bit will help the team’s families.
ALL MONEY DONATED HERE WILL BE DISTRIBUTED
EQUALLY AMONG THE STUDENTS. FOR INDIVIDUAL
GIFTS PLEASE CONTACT THE SPECIFIC FAMILY FOR
A WAY TO MAKE THAT DONATION.
The FJHS We the People team will travel with
WorldStrides, the leader in education travel
programs for students, by plane from Fishers
to Washington, D.C. Along with doing their best to
win this prestigious competition with three days of
hearings, the team will tour our nation’s capitol,
seeing first hand the very documents, places, and
monuments they have been learning about all year.
To say Weoples are passionate about the
constitution, our U.S. government, and it’s rich
history is a dramatic understatement!
The team has committed to attending the
competition, having made the first deposit for their
trip, but more deadlines are fast approaching. Our
total goal of $50,000 would cover all students,
and teachers. Only after all students and staff have
been supported, will donations be used for incidentals
leading up to and following the competition.
This GoFundMe campaign will end March 20, 2020.
We’ll update regularly as payment deadlines
approach. Our next payment date is January 13,
20. We’d like to have met a third of our goal by
then.
The teens on the team will be approaching local
businesses for sponsorships. They will also be
organizing fundraising events in the upcoming
months to help meet this goal, but any amount you
can donate will be greatly appreciated.
We the People is a unique opportunity for students
to engage with our American history in personal and
meaningful ways. These young adults give back to
our Hamilton County community in countless ways.
Over 90% of the teens on the team are members
of the National Junior Honor Society, volunteering at
events across our area. The teens as a whole are
active in sports, the arts, and their community. They
are amazing individuals. They have worked so hard
and come so far. Being a part of We the People has
already enriched their lives immensely. Going to the
National Invitational would change them forever.
We invite you all to follow the team on their journey.
We’ll be posting testimonials from the teens and
their parents here on GoFundMe, as well as on
social media.
Follow the team on Twitter , Facebook ,
and Instagram for frequent updates.
Even if you are not in a position to make a monetary
donation, sharing this GoFundMe with your own
friends, family, and community will go a long way to
helping the team!
