Graphic by Bridget Casey, 6th grade 3 School News Get creative: give Art Club a try By Bridget J. Casey, 6th grade Who Runs Art Club? Art club is run by Mrs. Phillips When Does Art Club Meet? Art club meets every Monday at 3:00-4:00 Where Does Art Club Meet? Art club meets in Mrs. Phillips room right outside of the B Wing, closest to the ramp. Room D110. Extra Information It’s not funded by school, so for each project you have to bring in $10 to participate. Worried or concerned about yourself or others? This team lends a HELPing hand Interviewer: Brianna Ambrosine Interviewee: Mrs. Selgrath and Mrs. Merten On the news today, we are hearing a lot about violent acts. Stetson Middle School is lucky enough to have a HELP team right at our disposal. It's a state-mandated group that we have at school for kids, teachers, and parents who are troubled with something. We feel that it is important to address some of these negative situations. The HELP team wants students to have 4 Help Team (cont.) a place to go to where they might not want the person they are concerned about to know what they were doing. We do want kids to feel safe at school and there are many reasons students might not be, the HELP team eliminates those reasons. The HELP team is for someone to talk to about their troubles, worries, and concerns about themselves or anyone around them. 1. If you need the help team member immediately, should you still fill out a referral or go directly to a HELP team member? “If it is super serious and you are really worried about someone’s safety immediately, then we want someone to go right to an adult because we want to make sure nobody's in danger at school at that moment. If it is something like vaping or something that you maybe saw on social media or heard on the bus or around the school then a referral would be the way to go. But if you are worried about someone’s immediate safety we want you to go to an adult.” 2. How would you describe the HELP team, as if you were introducing this system to another state or school? “I think I would describe it as a support team for staff and students. When a staff member or student is having a hard time at school, and we are a group of people that are obviously concerned about the student's safety. We are here to make school a safe place to go to when someone needs help.” 3. If you were concerned about someone, what are some signs you could pick up, for example, actions, body language, and feelings? “This can look very different for different people, but the number one thing I tell students to look for is a major change. Some people might be very outgoing, to begin with, and maybe they become very withdrawn, they aren’t talking to anyone. Or there might have been a major change in their friend group, for example, they use to hang out with this group of kids and now with this group. An obvious sign is usually present to indicate something is going on.” 4. Where in the library is the HELP team box located? “If you go through the doors, it is to your left. By the computers, before the bookshelf, before you go around to the other tables it’s there in the computer area. 5 5. How common is it to get a HELP team request? “There are times of year when it is more frequent than others to receive a HELP team request Right after the beginning of the year presentation is one of those times. Then it really just depends on what is going on with the students. There might be a group of students doing things they aren't supposed to like vaping and things like that. There really isn’t a certain trend of referrals.” 6. Do you think the HELP team should be in schools nationwide and if it was, do you think it would change the number of violent acts happening in schools? “That’s a good question, I think that probably, I mean I would be surprised if other states didn’t have something similar, but they might not call it the HELP team.
