APAMSA Hepatitis B Jade Outreach Program
We are introducing a new program called the APAMSA Hepatitis B Jade Outreach Program. Students who successfully complete the program will be placed on the APAMSA Hepatitis B Jade Honor Roll. The purpose of this program is to encourage students to actively learn about hepatitis B and engage in hepatitis B outreach. To kick off the program, we will be raffling off the latest generation of the iPad to one student on the APAMSA Hepatitis B Jade Honor Roll at the end of this school year if there are 125 or more participants. If there are less than 125 participants the winner will be able to choose between an iPod touch or Kindle Fire. In order to be on the APAMSA Hepatitis B Jade Honor Roll students must complete all of the requirements and submit appropriate documentation.
