Students researched the problem of domestic violence and how it is addressed by CODA and then scripted and shot a video which aired on the school’s “Morning News.”

Additionally, the news team independently organized, auditioned for, publicized and coordinated a juried talent show which raised money for CODA.

CODA extends thanks to the aware, creative and committed students who are working to end domestic violence in our community.
