Why Wait? Class
2019-2020
These were the pioneers of the Why Wait? course. Their accomplishments were incredible, and even though they had to miss the Change-Maker Chat Finale due to Covid-19 they still created and posted videos about their projects on the WhyWaitOsceola Facebook page.

Why Wait? club
2018-2019
These students were the very first group to take on the Why Wait project as a class. They are ready to take on the wicked problems of the world!
the 2020 Change-maker chats!
They made change happen! Please go to our Why Wait Osceola Facebook page, where we featured one project spotlight per day. These were intended to be presented in person, so students had to improvise with the technology available at home during quarantine in March/April 2020, but their messages came straight from the heart.
