events the club is planning during the month of October; they will also hold a swim-a-thon, a
battle of the bands competition and an art exhibition.
Im proud of the students for organizing these events and trading in their free time to
raise awareness and money, Sawyer said. Expect Respect is a new club, but were already
making such a great impact. I hope we continue on this path to raise awareness in our school and
community.
The Expect Respect program is part of Pittsburghs Center for Victims prevention,
advocacy and education efforts. Domestic Violence Awareness month was first observed in
October of 1987. It was created to connect womens advocates across the nation who were
working to end violence against women and children.
