Our West Geauga ADL is planning our next project which will address the unfortunate racism and prejudices amidst everyday life. This will also be one way we can recognize Black History month. If you are a member of a minority race or religion and are willing to share about your experience, we want to hear your voice. Our goal here is for West G to be a more educated, understanding, and inclusive place.
We are collecting statements on the following question which will be anonymous unless the writer does not wish to be anonymous. Here is the question: What is something you experience as a minority that those not in that group either do not understand or choose to not understand? These will be read by ADL members in a video that will air sometime during February. Again, this is anonymous unless someone does not want to be.
Statements can be given to Mr. Teare (room 130), Mrs. Crossman (room 104), Mrs. Porter, or to the ADL member that will be in lunches TH & F.
Attention seniors heading to college! New scholarships are arriving daily - many applications have due dates in February and March. Make sure you check on scholarships in your Naviance account or stop by the counseling office to check them out!
In celebration of National Random Acts of Kindness Day (February 17th), Student Council is hosting our second annual WGHS Kindness Week.
Next week will include a Spirit Week and Kindness Challenge as well as the opportunity to win prizes for participating. We will kick off the week with a Spirit Week. On Monday the theme is Love to be Kind (Celebrate Valentine's Day by wearing Red, Pink, & White).
The Kindness Challenge will challenge you to complete as many kind deeds as you can in one week. Completing the challenges will get you entered into the drawing for a chance to win a Kindness T-Shirt!
