TRUE LOVE WAITS

We have an annual True Love Waits Campaign.  

 

We have made tie dyed t-shirts to advertise True Love Waits. We supply True Love Waits dog tags too.  

For some years, we wrapped treats with reasons we wrote to make True Love Waits pledges and secured each one with a heart sticker.  We handed them out at lunch to our peers.

On Valentine's Day, we make displays out of the True Love Waits commitment cards. Each card has been signed by a student saying that he or she will practice sexual abstinence from then until marriage.
