"THE GREATEST SAVE" PSA CONTEST WINNERS

Picture
Four RHS students, Ari Patterson, Chris Hanson, Jordan Hudson and Alex Tilford, won a PSA contest sponsored by “The Greatest Save” organization and Major League Baseball. The PSA needed to focus on a danger facing teenagers today and these students were the regional winners, and their video went to the national competition. They received their awards at Comerica Park before a Tigers game and were later visited by Paws while they were watching the game.  Ty Cobb's grandson supported the financial sponsorship here in the Detroit area.

Mr. Zwolinski's A.P. US History classes  were each assigned a geographic region and had to bring in their own artifact to explain to the group. The goal of the activity was to connect Native American artifacts with their geographic cultures and be able to compare and contrast those relationships.
