I just dont think that peoplerealize how serious AIDS is. -juniorRebecca BowmanI think it was a great dance for awonderful cause. While having fun,people were raising money for agood cause.We all know howserious HIV is and are willing tohelp. Everyone there knew whythey were there and didnt needany educational lecture to say thatwe wanted to help people out. Itwas a great time and stillreminded us of those who areafflicted with AIDS. -sophomoreMicheleWatsonThe dance was really cool. It wasa great experience to get toperform (as lead singer of Koala),and it was an awesome cause.Everybody seemed as though theywere having a good time. It wascool because so many differentkinds of people were theresupporting a great cause. -seniorAndrew BungerIt is a horrible disease, and Ithought that the dance was areally good idea. I dont usually goto dances, but I would definitelydonate to the cause if it went tocharity. -junior Heath MayIt was a really good idea that allthe proceeds went to charity. Ithink that we lose the informationabout AIDS after we leavesophomore health. It would be agood idea to have a voluntaryclass that addresses STDs andAIDS. -seniorElizabeth Wilson157 |
