Fall 2013 - Fall 2014

Below is a link to each student blog for the Make a Change Project. Go check them out. They should each have a link on their home page that will bring you back to my home page if you want to check out more than one. To help organize them, I've tried separating them by topic type. Some could fall under more than one topic heading, so I tried to place them under the one that made the most sense.
