A couple weeks ago, we asked you fantastic members to submit Pink Ball photos showing their favorite school subject for a chance to win 50 points for your Cause. Though many of you have already graduated, you still found a way to show us what subject made your interest peak and got you excited about learning. What a bunch of smart cookies we have! Here are our favorite photos received.
For your own chance at 50 points, scroll down to see what this week's Pink Ball Photo of the Week theme is!
"So, let me paint a picture for you. At the start of my day I attend a normal High School, complete with Chemistry and Spanish classes. Then, about half way through the day I walk across this magical place, called a parking lot, to this magnificent school called the Fine Arts Center. Here, I study Voice, which consists mostly of classical singing. I also take Music Theory and History, from this man. At the beginning of the year he gave us our "bibles", which most music students live, eat, and attempt to master the diatonic modes out of.
Dr. Grier happens to be the coolest teacher ever. He uses The Beatles in his lessons and he poses for SocialVibe pictures. Plus, he helps head a club called The Foothills Green Artists. They volunteer around our community and sell reusable water bottles,with our school logo on them, to help reduce the use of plastic water bottles. So, not only is Dr. Grier teaching future musicians everything they know, but he's also saving the planet little by little. Thus making his classes the best ever. EVER. :)"
"My favorite subjects are english and choir.I wrote my favorite quote,from Bob Marley, to show my love of writing.The music notes show my passion for singing and music."
"I can't choose. Mathematics and Spanish literature! They both rock my world. So does SV! =]"
THIS WEEK'S THEME is: Thanksgiving! Naturally, we have to center this week's Pink Ball photos around the wonderful holiday that allows us to give thanks for all of our blessings while stuffing our faces with... well, stuffing. What's your favorite part of Thanksgiving? Sweet potatoes? Football? The Macy's parade?

For the past couple of months, Invisible Children supporters have been rallying their friends to join them on SocialVibe in hopes of scoring three t-shirts adorned with the newest IC designs supporting their efforts in freeing the child soldiers in Uganda and ending the 20 year war.
The new designs feature Obama (because Democrat or Republican, he's the one with the power to help), Moonshot ("This is our Mission to the Moon"), and Peace (the goal of all of this).
To be eligible, members had to successfully recruit at least five friends in joining them. Thousands were invited, but only six winners were chosen. They are:
Congratulations to all the winners, and huge thanks to all IC supporters who gave their all to help spread the message. To take further action and bring this cause to the attention of our nation's leaders, please sign this petition to disarm the LRA!
As we've been settling into Fall and observing all the changes happening around us, we're reminded of the simple things that we turn to for comfort - a good book, a warm bed, our best friend's shoulder, a long run.

Each member will receive 50 SocialVibe points. Scroll down to find out what this week's theme is for your own shot at 50 points!
"This is Kune, the wolf plushie my best friend got me as a gift a while back. Being in college now, I don't really have anyone but myself to rely on when I am not feeling well, so I keep him close as a comforter. He reminds me of better days, of good times...back when my bestie and I would search shops, vainly looking for a plushie that was more like a realistic wolf than a husky. Well, we finally found one, and she bought him for me. :)"
THIS WEEK'S THEME is: Your favorite school subject. Whether you're still in school or have long since graduated, all of us had a favorite subject in school.
