Miami-Dade County Public Schools will observe its 11th annual AIDS Awareness Week from November 27 to December 1. Lessons and activities during the week will focus on AIDS prevention. Community volunteers, including persons living with AIDS, are scheduled to provide educational lectures.

On Monday, Nov. 27, senior high, alternative and selected middle school students will participate in a field trip to the Miami Beach Convention Center, 1901 Convention Center Drive, to view Florida's largest display of the AIDS Quilt. Many schools have designed panels to be dedicated to the Quilt Memorial.

For more information, contact LaShaun Polk, District Supervisor, at 305-995-7118.
