Another Challenge Day Post

Well I get to go to a 3 day Challenge Day workshop and I am so happy! It is a dream come true in many ways. I also get to see Wicked while I am there. Things are so wonderful!

Here is some info on a show that will be on MTV with Challenge Day if you are interested.

Dear Challenge Day Friends and Supporters,

For the past year, Challenge Day has been working in team with Arnold Shapiro Productions, MTV, and twelve schools across the United States to bring a transformative new series to television called “If You Really Knew Me.” The show premieres on MTV on Tuesday July 20th at 11:00 p.m.

“If You Really Knew Me” is a 12 episode series that allows viewers to follow students and their experiences before, during and after Challenge Day. Each episode takes place at a different high school, and follows five students from different cliques as they go through the life-changing experience of Challenge Day. Watch the amazing transformation each week as the students courageously open up for the first time. By dropping their waterlines and revealing who they really are, the students break down the walls between cliques, and work to change their view of school and each other.

Our Challenge to you: We invite you to gather your Be the Change Team, your Circle of Change, your family, and/or your friends and watch MTV’s “If You Really Knew Me,” on Tuesday, July 20th at 11:00 p.m. (Check your local listings). After the show, practice the tool of “If you really knew me” by having people share their experience of the show and how it applies to their lives (learn how to do this activity at http://www.challengeday.org/downloads/If_You_Really_Knew_Me.pdf). There will also be a discussion guide posted at http://www.challengeday.org/mtv after each episode of “If You Really Knew Me.” For these activities and more information about the show, please visit our website and MTV’s website at http://www.mtv.com/shows/if_you_really_knew_me/series.jhtml.

We hold the vision that the show will catalyze all of us to Be The Change we wish to see in the world. We believe the series will demonstrate that the miracles of connection and compassion are available to everyone.

We celebrate and thank you for your continued loved and support!

Please forward this email to any one you believe might be interested or could benefit from this series.

In Gratitude,

Jaime
