Middle school students walked to fight AIDS and diabetes in two fundraisers in the past month.

Head of Community Service Victoria Goddard said 43 middle school students went to the AIDS Walk on Oct. 19 and that 37 went to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund Walk on Nov. 1.

Many students also participated with their own groups at the AIDS Walk or at the JDRF Walk, Goddard added.

Students who complete one walk and raise at least $50 earn six hours of community service credit.
