Students’ Key to Success
Campaign 2007-2008
The ICSHC is once again holding its statewide student contest. Last
year, we delivered 36 keys and 1,500 stories to the Governor’s Chicago
office. This year, we will build upon last year’s success by involving
even more school health centers! Each school health center is being
asked to design three keys and collect 20 short essays that will be used
to reach out to our elected officials in the Illinois legislature.
School health centers will receive materials in November, and all keys
and essays should be returned to ICSHC by Friday, January 10th.
Prizes will be awarded to awarded to school health centers and
individual students. Click below for campaign materials:
