STUDENT GOVERNMENT 2013- 2014
Student Government has decided to focus on four main areas for Social Action Week:
1. LGBTQ/Pink Triangle- Students will read articles, participate in discussions, analyze documentary videos, and take polls about these important topics.
2. Nigerian Kidnapping/ Big Back Our Girls- To continue building on the great work of our advisories, the Student Government will provide editorials and discussion prompts about this issue. The plan will foster critical thinking, discussion, and all allow for action plans.
3. Since Social Action Week is all about making connections within the school community and life beyond our walls, the Student Government will provide time, space, and materials for advisories to draft and create sidewalk chalk murals in front of the school. The murals will creatively display our commitment to the Four Pillars of Leadership, STEM, College Bound, and Health & Wellness. Detailed instructions and schedules will be sent to advisors.
4. The Student Government loves the fact that our school has a small garden area in front of the school. But, it needs a hug! This final component of Social Action Week will be a way to jumpstart the gardening/beautification of this area. We don't plan on having a finished product by the end of this week, but perhaps we can plant a seed that will bloom by the end of June.
