Ideas
Design a media or social media campaign around a specific message.
Conduct a pledge/contract event with rewards when the school is successful.
Share a safety message with younger children with a peer mentor program.
Take your safety message to the school or community with interactive activities.
Considerations
Be specific about what your project will, and will not, include – and why.
Think about your school environment. What is the message students need to hear? What is the best way to deliver it?
How will you know if your project was a success? As part of your proposal, define how you will show that your plan worked.
Collaborate! Reach out to other groups, organizations, and agencies that might have an interest in helping you share your message.
