These videos show how much students have to teach us

Dear Editor:

South Carolina's students have been creating videos for the Healthy SC Video Contest that are creative, informative, entertaining and alarming and they show just how much our students here in South Carolina have to teach all of us.

All are about the importance of healthy living and chronic disease prevention, and there's still time for you to vote for your favorite one! Visit www.healthysc.gov to learn about the contest and to submit a video or log directly onto www.ourstage.com/go/healthyscjudge to pick the winners and learn from our teens.

Halfway through the 12-week contest, nearly 60 videos have been submitted, 48,000 votes have been cast, $5,000 in cash has been awarded to students, and $15,000 cash remains to be awarded, plus a host of other prizes for schools and students.

If you haven't had a chance yet to check out the videos that our SC students have made then you don't know what you're missing.
