PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.- Some eighth graders in Charlotte County are raising awareness about World AIDS Day through art.
The county's Health Department has displayed posters the students designed to reflect the national World AIDS Day theme "Getting to Zero."
Health leaders say in Charlotte County, there are only a handful of cases of AIDS, but that's enough to make education important.
Clients from the Health Department have been voting on the posters. The winners will be recognized at the December 11th school board meeting.
