Example of how WRITING can change the world!

Read about how "Dante Cano, a fifth-grader from New Jersey, thought the yellow flags that referees throw when there’s a penalty should also be pink, so we he wrote a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell."

And his idea in writing was accepted. During the Oct. 28th football game between the Jets and Dolphins, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the refs threw PINK FLAGS to indicate a pentalty had occurred.

Share this story with students as an example that writing CAN change the world!!
