Outrageously Awesome Allies

Submitted by tara.pina on Wed, 09/25/2019 - 08:51

Hundred of students crowd the halls, filling the school with their own unique personalities, interests, and emotions. Even though there are all these different kinds of people, some students still feel alone without a friend to look out for them. SJHS hosted Be an Ally week to help change this.

Being an ally has several different meanings to different people. When asked about the topic one of the students, Kimbal Mcferson, believes that being an ally means, “helping those who need it and those who don’t.” He thinks we should be looking out for fellow peers in our school which seems to be a very common trend among the students. Annie Low has similar opinions saying that allies help out whenever they can.
