Welcome to our blog! Students Against Destructive Decisions and Community Alliance for a Safer Tomorrow (our neighborhood anti drug and anti violence coalition- check out www.umacast.org ) are pleased to present this blog. The Upper Merion Area is in the northwestern suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. We just had a snow storm, but then again we also just had 75 degree weather... Anyway, we are EXCITED to be in the top 20 teams of the Act Out Loud contest and hope to have a lot of fun!
We had a Students Against Destructive Decisions meeting early this morning before school where we talked about our last student forum on drinking and dances and then we talked about our Green Light for Sober project. I was so tired on Monday morning, but most of us were really excited about the National Youth Traffic Safety Month project. Check out www.ActOutLoud.org and www.noys.org for more info. There were about 15 other students there and we all agreed that our project is really cool- a psa, student forum, and blogging. The video camera we got is pretty sweet. I think we need to start advertising the voting process now to gain support and followers. One of the ideas for the stipend was to have the student forum catered. Students will come if there is good food around. Well, hope everyone out there in King of Prussia, Bridgeport, West Conshohocken, and Wayne all rally around us and vote...VOTE! The principal and teachers are already supporting our project, but we need your help.
Factoid of the week: "Car crashes are the #1 killer of teens".

Today, we held a meeting after school, where we gathered our Act Out Loud supporters, to discuss our Green Light for Sober project. We figured out two dates in which we are going to hold our Community Forum and when we are going to take photographs that involve traffic safty for the posters. We also discussed who would be in charge of the many tasks that need to be performed over the course of these next two months. Like blogging, our public service announcement, and the photographs that need to be take which represent our school.
