\r\nFamily\r\nGame Night
\r\n\r\n
\r\nWhy?\r\nThe intent was to bring families together without the use of electronic\r\ndevices. We had board games, egg hunt for the kids, kickball, and soccer.

\r\nGirls\r\nSelf Esteem
\r\n\r\n
\r\nThis\r\nproject focused on mainly awareness for girl’s self-esteem. We chose to coordinate\r\na week of events during the month of May beginning with covering up the\r\nbathroom mirrors on Monday. On Tuesday, we gathered a group of friends and\r\nwrote compliments on each other’s arms in black marker. Wednesday was a photo\r\nbooth event, we wrote what we love about ourselves on whiteboards and took\r\npictures together. Thursday we took off our makeup. Everyone who participated\r\nwas super nice and positive. We wrapped up the week with a PSA () and\r\nthanked everyone who took part in our project.

\r\nOur Social Service project,\r\nconsisting of Jessie Garcia, Xavier Thompson, Wendy Chavez, and Noemi Chavez,\r\nwas aimed to bring awareness to the consequences of distracted driving. We set\r\nup a presentation to the Driver’s Ed class at E-Street showing them people who\r\nhave suffered because of their bad decisions while driving, trivia questions on\r\nstreet laws, and PSA videos on people affected by other’s decisions on the\r\nroad. Our main goal was to at least have the kids in that room realize that no\r\nmatter who texted, snapchatted, or tweeted them while driving: it could wait.\r\nHence, the name “It Can Wait!”

\r\nOur Social Service Project’s\r\ngoal is to give backpacks to children in the Foster Care System. When Children\r\nare taken out of their homes and put into the Foster Care System, they are only\r\nleft with a trash bag to put their belongings in. This makes children feel like\r\nthey are of no value. Our goal is to help children that already have a bad\r\nlife, to help and give something little to them that can change their world\r\nwith a small gift.

\r\nThis was a 4x400 relay race\r\nfundraiser for the YWCA Safe Shelter, the teams included our local Law\r\nEnforcement, Fire Departments and Correction Facilities. We raised an\r\nastounding $779! I, Jessica Galland, Kyler Tiner and Sadie Flores all worked\r\nvery hard on making this event a success. The picture is of the finalists,\r\nCollege Place Fire Department, Walla Walla Department of corrections and Walla\r\nWalla Police Department.

\r\nMy group, which consisted\r\nof myself, Bakari Bakari, Annaliese Meza and Ceci Rodriguez, chose for our\r\nSocial Service Project, to show awareness towards Domestic Violence and Teen\r\nSexting. We hosted an assembly and interactive games for 11th\r\ngraders that contribute to Domestic Violence. With the help from Walla Walla\r\nPolice Department we have opened the eyes of many Junior’s in our school. So\r\nplease come, support and check out our booth or table at Community Night on\r\nThursday May 25th.

You Are Not Alone,
was a project I, Taylor Cooper, coordinated this May. Depression and suicide
have been a problem nationwide and that needs to change. To help spread
awareness for suicide and depression, I reached out to many people throughout
the county and our school and many people wore yellow to help spread awareness.
It was truly unbelievable how many people showed their support to my project.
