Be the Change MS Student Advocacy Group

Members of "Be the Change," a student advocacy and education group in the Middle School, ended the year in style by silk-screening tee-shirts emboldened with a design by sixth grader Eliza Cho. Visual Arts teacher Elizabeth Zepeda helped students with their art processes. Be the Change sponsor and Global Connections teacher Octavia Sadler praised the student group for its excellent student leadership and willingness to try and learn about new things. "There's never enough time to do everything this group wants to do," she said. "There's just never enough time." This year the group devoted itself to taking part in initiatives regarding Syrian refugees, Amnesty International, and LGBTQ+ issues. The group also welcomed speakers, made Kiva loans, helped with Haiti on The Hill, made advocacy presentations in Chapel, and much more.
