Project MAD

Hello Health students!

As we move from studying the healthy individual to a more public health-oriented section of our Health class, we shift a little bit of focus towards community service and issue awareness.

Today, we begin our 3rd project, Project MAD (Make A Difference). It will start with the following tasks:

1) Choose an issue you believe the general public needs to be more aware of--it can be local, or global (but I prefer local for the sheer fact that it makes your work easier).

2) Choose an item that you will make and sell in order to make money in the name of the issue you have chosen.

3) Choose a group or organization that you will donate the money to for the benefit of your issue.

As we move further along the time line of this project, we will vote on the best idea amongst all Health students, and work to make that specific plan happen.

Start thinking and gathering information now, folks. This project works in the background, so it is YOUR responsibility to get things done.

Good luck, and have fun with it!
