Students presented on the day of their fast
On the day of their fast, students go without solid food for 24 hours and present to non-SLAM classes about their cause.
Handing off the fast after school with a feast
At the end of each day, students break their fast in a hand-off feast where the next day's fasters eat their last meal and begin their 24 hour fast.
1000 Students Reached!
This year we estimate that close to 1000 students were reached through 35 presentations in classes throughout our campus on topics like "We Are Women Not Objects, Expectations of Race, Love Does Not Hit, Gun Violence, Immigrant Stories, The Self Love Project, and so many more.
