Students Help The Community Community service was the goal behind three major clubs. Whether it was teaching a child, sharing joy, or lending a helping hand, students got out and sup- ported their concern for others with action all year long. Project TEACH is for all stu- dents interested in helping the education of others. It gave us a chance to teach, but also to learn from the students at the same time, said senior Jennifer Jenkins. As a senior, a student may begin teaching in any area school in which a student assis- tant is requested. Although National Honor So- ciety recognizes academically-in- clined students, it is also a ser- vice organization. At Christmas time, the members had the idea to visit children in the hospitals. Students gave the kids coloring books and crayons. In the spring, these students sponsored a blood drive and encouraged other students to give a little time and blood to those in need. It makes me feel good to know that when a student has a problem, I can help, remarked senior Peggy Butler of FAT. Friends Always There is an orga- nized group trained to look for potential victims of depression and suicide. The different mem- bers got together and presented a program about suicide aware- ness to all health classes. Ready to drop school and any social life, Trisha Flora comforts Aimee Zurawski during a FAT presentation. Depression and pressure have overcome Letari Thompson as he acts out one of the signs of suicide. (simulations only) 24 Students Help The Community
