More than 30 students from Cuyahoga Falls High School's Marketing/DECA program came to United Way of Summit County's offices to present their plans for helping us use the LIVE UNITED campaign to reach out to young people.
They have been working on their ideas and presentations fors several weeks. The students - juniors and seniors at the HS and each with a GPA of 3.5 or higher - were split into six groups. And each of the presentations focused on a very different and very clever idea.
Under the outstanding direction of class teacher Emily Kilgore, the students created display boards, MySpace pages, PowerPoint presentations, and videos - one of which was even posted on YouTube. Watch it here.
All of their ideas were outstanding, and we'll be utilizing most - if not all of them very soon. This was a competition, and the panel of judges - Bob Kulinski, Katie Rennard, Diontre Earl, Jackie Zavodney, Carol L'Esperence, Jessica Petersen, Janet Fashbaugh and your humble blogger - chose 'Team Six,' which consisted of (pictured at right L to R) Jeremy Tenney, Mike Baxter, Joey Mercer and Mike Riggins.
Thanks to all the students from Cuyahoga Falls High DECA program for the time and effort they put into this project. Your talent and your passion for this project shone through everything you did.
