The 84

Hey SADD kids! Ready for some more 84 stuff?

Once again SADD will be doing the 84 Campaign in school (84% of Massachusetts teens choose not to use tobacco). We received a box of materials this week to use throughout the campaign. Details in brief: It's a 2-day statewide competition; Tuesday the 24th through Wednesday the 25th. Our challenge is to complete missions found online at the 84 website the morning of the 24th. We are thinking of getting 84 signatures pledging to not use tobacco, and getting people to give us 84 reasons to join the 84 and be tobacco-free. We have until 11:59 on Wed. March 25th to upload proof (scanned documents, photos) of the completed missions. I'll take pictures/scan signatures as 'proof'. We need to get the word out on Monday. Tim has been asked to create a fun-sounding announcement (e.g; SADD is looking for 84 reasons to be tobacco free! AND/OR Pledge to be tobacco-free today and tomorrow at all lunches!) and we have informational folders we received in the mail. There is a $250 dollar prize for the school that completes the most missions, but we are mainly concentrating on doing what we know would work. If there are more ideas online that we find Tuesday morning that we can do then we will try our best. Other than that we won't worry about it too much. The point is to get the word out and have fun getting kids to follow the example of the 84. During a short meeting during advisement on Monday you all can sign up to man the tables, at all lunches Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thanks for your help in this. I am expecting this to be a successful campaign. Let's have fun with it! :)
