This means you can put it on social media, and create awareness throughout BHS to help educate your peers and teachers.

Here is your Ambassador Rubric. This will be a Project Grade (Project Breakdown = Presentation 45%, Reflection essay 45%, Mr. Parkin's observations 10% = Grand total equals 100% for a Project Grade). The Reflection essay and Presentations that illustrate EVIDENCE of your contributions as an ambassador and the school observing Peace Day should be documented and will be due on Tuesday, September 22nd.
