SAVE Promise Club’s 2023 season is beginning and all the officers and members are excited.

This year the club’s goals are centered around engagement. Club advisor Ms. Healy is focusing on getting new members of the Law community involved in SAVE’s actions.

“We really want to involve as many members of our Law family as possible in what we’re doing, especially as we jump into Start with Hello week this week,” Healy said. 

She is also looking forward to working with this year’s officers including President Helen Chizmazia, Secretary Gianna Gagliardi, and Social Media Editor Ava Ambrusco.

“I would have to say I am really excited to work with our officers this year because they have such great ideas that they want to implement,” Healy said. “They are all such a great group of student leaders that I am sure they’ll accomplish whatever they set out to do.”

The officers, who meet at least once a month to discuss upcoming plans, shared their excitement and plans for the 2023-2024 season.

“Our main goal in the SAVE promise club is to make not only our school feel like a safe space but finding ways for schools in general to feel like a safe place,” Chizmazia said. “We are so excited to see so many new members this year, we encourage everyone who is interested in creating a comfortable community in our school to join.”

Chizmazia is hoping to spread the word about SAVE, so students know why it can be a good place for them.

“SAVE Promise Club is not only a great way to get involved with providing a safe environment for yourself and others but to make new friends along the way,“ Chizmazia said. “Everyone is super welcoming and friendly so we love seeing new faces at the meetings.” 

Gagliardi shares her excitement about the upcoming season and Start With Hello week which took place this past week. The week encourages students to be more inclusive with events planned throughout the week including a new theme everyday.

“We are actually working on a lot of fun stuff,” Gagliardi said. “Start with Hello is one of our favorite activities because we know it can be challenging starting school so it ensures that people feel more welcome and talk to new people in school.”

Ambrusco became the social media editor of SAVE Promise Club as just a sophomore.

“As a freshman I saw and heard that I should be more involved in clubs so I put that offer on and I joined SAVE Promise Club,” Ambrusco said. “Something I’m really excited about is getting more people involved in the club and making them feel included and welcomed for this season.”

All members of SAVE expressed their excitement about this year and the hope of getting some new members added to the club.

“I think people should be aware of SAVE Promise Club because it’s a good community and it’s filled with people who can help you,” junior member Paige Kantor said. “I’m excited to fundraise and do projects to spread awareness for the club.”
