Leon County SHAC

When we think about school health, we need to think about more than just asthma, diabetes, allergies and BMI (to name only a few). We need to also think about providing and encouraging safe alternatives to risky behavior. Graduation time is a huge opportunity for us. If you're not familiar with Project Graduation, you SHOULD
be!
Trust me, when I helped with Leon's Project Graduation last year, I did not have high expectations because I assumed the kids wouldn't come because it wasn't a "real" party. As it turned out, that was the most amazing event ever! From 11:00 PM to 4:00 AM the seniors never had a dull moment with all of the free activities going on all night.
Side Note: Last year, my "too cool for school" 10th grade son volunteered with me (or voluntold with me) to manage the prizes, and afterwards he said, "I can't WAIT to go to my Project Graduation." I was so happy and proud of what we'd done.
Get involved! Or at least get your kids involved. They are worth it!
