The Jonathan Law SAVE Promise Club is exposing students to new activities this school year. 

SAVE stands for ”Students Against Violence Everywhere” and is dedicated to raising awareness of mental health issues and educating students to be advocates. The goal of SAVE Promise is to create a place where Law students do not feel alone. 

Law history teacher Ms. Healy is the advisor of the club. She and club president Aislinn Burns helped to plan a recent series of appearances on Eagle Eye News in support of Sandy Hook Promise, leading up to the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

“This year, I’ve been a fan of our 14 Days of Action leading up to the 10 year anniversary of Sandy Hook on December 14th,” Healy said. “We also have our ‘Say Something’ Week in March that I really like. It focuses on learning warning signs and how to react to them, which is important.”

The 14 Days of Action taught students about the warning signs of violence and suicide and highlighted mental health awareness and support systems in place for students.

“My favorite activity for SAVE is the 14 Days of Action for Sandy Hook,” senior Macie Rascoll said. “I enjoy this activity because it gives students a variety of ways to connect with others as well as spread awareness about an amazing cause.” 

The club has taught many students about these causes and has brought them closer. 

“I think students should join the club because it’s a good opportunity to get involved with the school and it’s a good cause,” junior Maya Markowitz said. 

SAVE Promise is just one of the clubs at Law that give students opportunities to get active in the community as well as their school.

“This year I have been taught that I can be an advocate for student mental health and safety in schools,” senior Caroline Doyle said. “SAVE has taught me to speak out on issues in our community and school that I can help combat as a student.” 

The club will continue to try to make Law a more secure and friendly place. It also allows students to be taught to speak up and create a save environment. 

“SAVE Promise has helped me better my advocacy for my fellow peers and helped me understand my role as a student,” senior Giuliana Aguilar said.
