A Day's Journey

“A Day’s Journey” is a program that will not only impact the Westerners’ view of the varying qualities of life that exist all around the world, but will also show the less-fortunate, in nations such as Afghanistan, that life can be improved upon and unthinkable goals may be obtained with education and perseverance. The program will involve two students being photographed, one from Afghanistan and the other from the USA , who will portray an ordinary day in their lives by having twenty pictures at certain time intervals taken of them by girl photography students.

Shirts Across America

Shirts Across America is a non-profit organization dedicated to moving families out of FEMA trailers one family at a time in the Gulf Coast Region. In January 2007, several high school students started the Hope Floats T-shirt campaign. Over 500 shirts were sold around Seattle and Washington state high schools.

Poverty Needs to Change

Pocket change can change global poverty! This project will include the increased use of change in daily activities of monetary exchange nationwide, including one day in Washington, D.C., designated to particularly promote the use of change in an effort to emphasize exactly how much money the United States has.Members of the movement should plan to pay for further purchases with as much change as possible, thus clogging check-out counters and demanding that more attention be paid to the money in transactions.

Shattered Dreams

Our school is having a Shattered Dreams program where students demonstrate a live mock crash scene. Only Juniors and Seniors are involved. Many different factors go into this; we need lifeflight, access to a hospital, a hirsch, and access to the local jail. This focuses on driving while under the influence, whether it be alcohol or drugs. Our school is located in the same area as is the recognized highest number of meth labs in America. This program has been used in several districts around mine and has soon to be a great success. I hope that you will recognize my need for assistance.

Harms Way 4 Kids
