Paper Clips Project

I just watched the most amazing documentary called the Paper Clip Project about a small middle school in Tennessee.

From Wikipedia--

"The Paper Clips Project is a project by middle school students from the small southeastern Tennessee city of Whitwell who created a monument for the Holocaust victims in Nazi Germany. It started in 1998 as a simple 8th-grade project and evolved into a project gaining worldwide attention. At last count, over 30 million paper clips had been received. Paper Clips, an award-winning documentary film about the project, was released in 2004 by Miramax Studios."
I cried all the way through it. It is a must see for any educator!

The movie has won many awards from various film festivals. The Web site where the project first was announced is www.marionschools.org/wms/index.htm
The video is available for rent at Netflixs

This movie will leave you a better person and educator for having watched it.
