*World AIDS Day Celebration 2015 at Berkeley High*

The World AIDS Day Celebration at Berkeley High School on Friday 
December 4^th shared a wealth of celebration and information to 800 
students in two assemblies. English teacher Alan Miller, who started 
this tradition about three years ago, made it happen again. Students, 
staff and community members participated in a program that had students 
completely engaged. Mr. Miller commented on how quiet, respectful and 
attentive all of the students were throughout the assembly. Around 800 
students attended the assemblies, and eight parent volunteers ushered 
students to their seats. The speakers were poet, actor Rolando Morales 
who also teaches some of our high risk students; student Ava Wallace of 
the Hip-hop club shared a beautiful and affecting poem; Brian Ragas of 
CRUSH told students about PEP/ PREP and Alan Miller’s planning 
colleague, Amber Davis, of the BHS Health Center, introduced BHS’s 
school's Peer Sexual Health Educators (SHIFT) to the students, and 
explained peer services available at the Health Center.  Student art 
adorned the walls of the BHS Little Theater, in the AIDS banners created 
by BHS students in years past as part of the world wide fight against AIDS.
