- 1 incredible week
- 2 great programs
- 5 media features (2 front page features + 2 news features)
- 8 fantastic schools
- 14 fearless volunteer presenters
- 5,000+ amazingly motivated students
Everyone involved was challenged to make a difference – and so were the readers and viewers.
CHOICES engaged students at Alisal High School and Chalone Peaks Middle School to set their sights on higher education goals for success in life; Teen Truth Live blew the roof off middle and high schools in Monterey Peninsula Unified School District with a call to be more compassionate and stop bullying and school violence. It was easily the most exciting and high-impact week CCMP has ever seen – and the fun continues this week at Washington Middle School in Salinas!
How will you make a difference this week?

Make A Difference Day (see http://www.makeadifferenceday
YOU Make A Difference!
.com) has been in the news most of October – and Hollywood got on board with the iParticipate campaign (see http://www.iparticipate.org) on major networks this week. But did you catch the wave and make a plan? Well, there’s still time – all day today. And, for that matter, every day from here on.
Although involving yourself in a bigger project, like disaster clean-up or building a house with Habitat for Humanity, may feel like the only way to make a difference – many times, the little things have the greatest impact. A thoughtful act of caring, a random act of kindness, reaching out to a stranger – or making an extra moment for someone special in your life.
So, if you missed the buzz, but we’ve caught your attention, take just a moment to look around and check out these websites for ideas (simple ideas are listed at http://www.communityofcaringmp.org/Our_Values.html). Include your kids; challenge a friend or your employer – or go it alone. And decide just how you will make a difference today. Or this week. Or the rest of this year. Then…just do it! It will make a difference to you, too.
Please come back and tell us about it – you’ll inspire others to make a difference, too!
