On Tuesday Febuary 11th, Shelly and Morgan gave up something that they both relie on a lot. In this event, the two girls stopped talking for the entire day to promote AIDS awareness. The pair got a ton of reactions from a lot of different people. The second one of them didn't respond to something as simple as a "Hey," they had someone else reading the signs that were posted on thier shirts. Shelly's said, "Silent today for AIDS/HIV awareness," and Morgan's said, "I have taken a vow of silence to help promote AIDS awareness." They are certain that doing this was very effective. It was a great way to have people know that they care.
Some reactions...
The event kind of confused the Spanish teacher, but she sort of had the class join along with having them do activities on white boards.
Ms. Danilova (ballet teacher), looked ridiculously confused when she saw the sign that was pinned to Morgan's leotard. She was even more lost when Morgan didn't respond with a "here" during attendance.
Ms. Moore was very supportive of the event. She talked about AIDS in class, and told a story about a woman who was treated for AIDS for 10 years but then found out that she didn't carry the disease.

Guys, that is awesome you were able to go a whole day in silence! I don't think I could ever do that so I admire you guys a lot.
Well done!
Wow I remember this, most people lasted through 1st period before they gave up. This was a great idea and way to have a community event
Yeah I remember doing this. Well, trying at least. This was a fun way to promote aids awareness. I did not last very long but it still made me more aware.
