Student Thoughts:

//**1) What are your thoughts about this past year? What was done well? What was not? What improvements could have been made?**//   //**2) Do you have any thoughts on what could be done next year? Something new? Do something again?**// 
 * Considering the way that SADD was left the year before, I think that everyone worked together well and we completed some really great projects. I especially think that the body image project was done well because it seemed to have a big impact on the student body. I also really liked the idea of the Stand Up against bullying petitions. I cant think of any improvements.
 * Ideas were well formed, but we did not completely follow through with the activities. We had topics that we wanted other students to learn about but did not do enough to be effective.
 *  I think that at the end of the year the club became more involved with projects: body image, and bully prevention. We should try to get the school more aware of our projects.
 * As far as next year goes I think that the current members should work on recruiting more people to join because it could be an even greater club if there were more members. I think that the body image project should be done again and of course prom promise.
 * I think the club did really well this year! I do think that we need to make more announcements during morning gathering next year. We could show more videos and put more posters around school. Other than that I think that we had good topics to educate people about.
 * Body image activity should be done again, but need to find a way to get students to take it more seriously (need more follow through).
 * All night party (like a marathon dance) -- It would give the students a safe environment, with no pressure of drinking ( @http://sadd.org/campaign/party.htm )
 * Lights on for Life Day -- This idea is also from the website, but I think that we could easily do this at SGHS. The project has to do with impaired driving, and educating the community about it. SADD would encourage drivers to drive with their head lights on throughout the day, and to turn their porch lights, holiday lights, and flood lights to send messages throughout the neighborhood against impaired driving. ( @http://sadd.org/campaign/lights.htm )
 * Friends for life -- SADD could sell the bracelets to students as a fundraiser for teens to give to their friends or we could give them out for free (maybe paying for with club dues??). Start by publicizing the event in a way that gets the students interested and involved. We could make announcements, and hang posters around the school to stress the importance of making good decisions and how each decision you and your peers make affects each other. The SADD "Friends for Life" bracelet is more than a symbol: it is a constant reminder of the bond friends share. Giving and wearing the friendship bracelet can help students focus on what is truly important in life. ( @http://sadd.org/campaign/friends.htm )

 
 * //3) Any other thoughts about SADD?// **
 * Overall I think that this year was pretty successful. I love being apart of this club!
 * SADD is beginning to be a great club and will be even greater next year! I can't wait!
