Law’s Save Promise Club recently promoted Safe Schools Week with a series of events. Sports Editor interviewed President Maya Markowitz to talk about the program. 

Cesar Mendez: What is Safe Schools Week?

Maya Markowitz: Safe Schools Week was a week held by the National SAVE Promise Club with efforts to promote safety in all schools across the country. 

CM: What was your goal for the week?

MM: Our goal for the week was to draw attention to the importance of feeling safe within our school and community. 

CM: What activities did you do for it?

MM: All week, we shared statistics and resources to allow for a more welcoming school where everyone is heard. On Wednesday, we asked all students and staff to wear orange in memory of the formation of the Students Against Violence Everywhere Club. 

CM:  Why is a safe school important to you?

MM: Having a safe school is important to me because I believe that all students should feel comfortable in their school and feel comfortable coming to staff about issues they feel should be addressed.  

CM: What should students take away from safe school week

MM:  After Safe Schools Week, I hope students take away the importance of advocating for yourself and others.
