Continuing the civics lessons at Boca Middle
> Posted by Lori Berman at 7:08 AM
The students in Ms. Oyer’s social studies classes at Boca Raton Middle School continue to show that they have learned the true meaning of civic involvement. As you may recall, Ms. Oyer’s classes actively participated in the effort to fight the cancellation of the television show “Jericho” by writing protest letters to CBS and bringing in spare change to help purchase advertisements in Variety.
Not content with stopping there, Ms. Oyer and the students learned of a program where DVD’s of “Jericho” are sent to troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Staten Island Program For Our Homefront purchased and shipped 100 DVD’s of “Jericho” season one last year. Ms. Oyer’s students raised $440.27 which will buy 20 DVD’s of “Jericho” season two for the soldiers and Ms. Oyer contributed to make it 21 DVDs. Currently, the program has raised enough to purchase 67 DVD’s, making Ms. Oyer’s classes a major contributor.
Many of the students have friends and family who either were or are in the military. The students all stressed that they want the servicemen and women to have something to entertain them. As noted by Ashley Cope, “My uncle is thinking of going to war and I want to support people like I would support my uncle.” Billy Tobener concurred noting that his uncle was in Iraq and said “it was boring and there was nothing to watch on television.” Julian Parks summed it up by stating that he “wanted the troops to not just think about war.”
The students raised the money through a variety of means, including enlisting their parents assistance and picking up spare change found on the school floors. Bobby Kron raised the most money and said he did chores to raise his contribution.
The DVD’s donated by Ms. Oyer’s classes will be sent as soon as the second season is released in mid-June. They will contain a personal message for the troops noting that the DVD’s were purchased by the students and will provide address information for the soldiers to respond to.
As the school year is winding to a close, it is clear that these students have learned valuable lessons in civics and philanthropy that will create a lasting legacy. Their donations, which coincide with Memorial Day, highlight for all of us the need to support our troops and be active participants in the local, national and global level. If you would like more information about the DVD donations or the students involvement with “Jericho” go to http://www.jerichorangers4ourtroops.com/ or http://www.Jericho4kids.com .

Students in Ms. Oyer’s sixth and seventh grade social studies classes have had the opportunity to learn first hand about civics and economics concepts thanks to the television program Jericho. Jericho is a show about a small town in Kansas and what happens in the town following a nuclear bombing of the United States. The show chronicles how the residents survive and the choices they make in governing and allocation of resources.
Ms. Oyer, a teacher at Boca Raton Middle School, recommends that students watch the show as part of their homework assignment. She said the show helps make abstract concepts easier for the students to understand. The students get absorbed in the show’s characters and at the same time learn about societal, economic and governmental choices through concrete examples.
The only problem is that CBS has decided to cancel the show for the second time. The show was cancelled in 2007, but due to viewer response was reinstated. An on-line protest involving delivering 20 tons of peanuts to CBS Entertainment in New York and California succeeded in bringing back Jericho. Peanuts were used because in the very last show the main character’s battle cry was “nuts”.
Just as the students learned about civics from the show, its cancellation also presents an opportunity to become involved. Knowing that the fans are rising up in revolt again, the students want to do their part and have written letters to CBS asking for Jericho to be continued. When the on-line fans decided to raise money to buy huge ads in Variety and Hollywood Reporter, the students brought in spare change and raised $52.11. A note with the donation posted on the protest website by Ms. Oyer received great feedback and motivated others to donate. Once again peanuts are being sent, this time to entertainment writers at newspapers so that they can generate media coverage about the cancellation.
The loyal viewers are hopeful that CBS will sell the show to another station who will continue to produce it. As Ms. Oyer optimistically states, ” This show is not dead, just in transit.” Whatever happens, these social studies students have had a real life opportunity to learn about civic involvement.
