Jonathan Law’s SAVE Promise Club will be hosting “Say Something Week” from March 20-24 with five different fun events planned for each day. 

Some of the activities planned for next week include Motivation Monday, Trusted Adult Tuesday, Wear Purple Wednesday, Therapy Dog Thursday, and Law Family Friday. 

“Say Something Week” is meant to spread awareness about warning signs of violence in schools. The club also focuses on activities that strengthen the community and establish trust.  

​​”I am most looking forward to Therapy Dog Thursday because it is a new activity for this year, but I am also excited for all of our other activities and to educate the Law community about the importance of being an upstander and speaking up if something is wrong,” senior Aislinn Burns said. 

The club focuses on recognizing warning signs of violence and addressing them.

“I’m looking forward to advocating about violence in schools and educating people to take action,” senior Giuliana Aguilar said. 

Leading up to “Say Something Week,” members of the club met once every cycle to prepare. These meetings involved splitting into “committees” to plan each day. 

“Our club members have been awesome in planning for Say Something Week,” SAVE Promise Club advisor Ms. Healy said. “We split into different committees to encourage more collaboration and involvement from everyone. Our activities committee put together the days for the week, our hype squad has been putting ‘Say Something’ posters and stickers around school and will be posting all over our twitter and instagram throughout the week, and our fundraising committee has been putting together some awesome ideas and future merch.”

One day that many teachers and students are looking forward to next week is Trusted Adult Tuesday, which is meant to highlight adults who are upstanding citizens in the community. The club plans on doing this with templates that students can get from the TLC or Healy’s room and give to their trusted adult. 

“I hope people can understand what Say Something week is and what SAVE Promise Club is and does,” sophomore Ella Franzman said. “I hope that it will help get some new members for the club and will help people understand what we are trying to accomplish with ‘Say Something Week.’” 

The club hopes to continue to host events throughout the year and continue to raise awareness for violence in schools.
