School wide service learning with parents involved.
New ideas for community events
Multicultural event
Engaging students in low-level activism and techniques in persuasion.
Members shared that they have seen indications that students want to tackle difficult topics.
Involvement of Student Leadership Team was suggested and Ms. Pieper informed the committee that the Student Leadership Team has three groups doing different service learning projects.
One resource that was mentioned was "The Global Goals" which has 12 or so goals with lessons within.
The idea of an anonymous google form for students to reach out to counselors or admin about non-life-threatening concerns like bullying, cyber-bullying was discussed.
The idea of bringing parents and/or alumni to school for a school-wide SEL run by counselors to discuss bullying or conflict resolution when the school is no longer locked-down to visitors was brought up.
Sarah will reach out to Ms. Phelps and Ms. Jenkins regarding the potential of a google form as discussed.
