WUMS QSA raises funds for The Trevor Project
The middle school QSA held two successful bake sales in order to donate the proceeds to The Trevor Project in recognition of Transgender Awareness Week (November 13-19) and LGBTQIA+ Youth.
The Trevor Project is a well-known suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ young people. They provide information & support to LGBTQ young people.
Safe School Ambassadors
The Safe School Ambassador Program is in its 9th year at WUHSMS. With 45 members in grades 8-12, this nationally recognized program uses socially influential leaders of the school’s diverse friend groups to shape positive social norms and behavior. The students in SSA had the opportunity to participate in a 2 day retreat, where they did some powerful self reflection, and learned and practiced the skills needed to resolve conflict, defuse negative incidents, and support their peers .
Thank you to the returning students, most of whom have been participating since 8th grade, for their many years of commitment to our school, and thank you for the warm welcome you gave to the ten new 8th grade members; Oliver Bennett, Elisabetta Cirovic, Lexi Gebardi, Lucas Geller, Alaythia Lockhart, Sam Molalley, Joey Palazzo, Declan Roylance, and Lindsey St. Cyr.
These students were selected based on an anonymous survey that their peers filled out, and have been identified as people their friends turn to, listen to, and trust. With that respect comes responsibility. We look forward to watching you grow and develop as leaders.
