AIA - ATOMS IN ACTION
AIA stands for Atoms in Action, which is an anti-bullying awareness club that intends to promote anti-bullying sentiments and increase awareness of the effects of bullying among the student body. It is a student-led organization that hopes to create a tolerant and understanding community where bullying is non-existent.
At our club meetings, we discuss many topics and events to be held in the near future. Currently, we are having a poster contest to promote our club and anti-bullying that is open to ALL students. The poster/design that is selected will win a gift certificate to Aéropostale! The contest ends February 10th so be sure to turn in your submissions before the deadline!
For more information about the club, meeting dates and times, or the poster contest (especially the requirements for the poster contest), please contact Ms. Reyes, Ms. Schaefer or Mr. Mims or Doreen Tetteh, the AIA President.
