If ever there was a way to merge classroom learning with giving, health awareness and recognizing something bigger than oneself, a collective effort by students and staff at Alfred G. Waters Middle School would be the example.
Led by head nurse Loretta Newsom, the school started the year with a diabetes service project for its first marking period. Already, they have had speakers visit from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and started a fundraising campaign for diabetes research in honor of five students at the school who have the disease.

Interesting. Instead of the kids with diabetes being able to blend in and be like 'normal' kids, they are being made the centre of attention - but obviously with a good cause in mind. I wonder if they were all consulted about how they might feel about it.
