The YWCA trained the new HHS Heritage Panel members with a day of fun activities at the HHS Pathways where they talked about discrimination and bullying in school. By the end of the day, the students had discussed the serious topics of racism, sexism, ageism, ableism and religious beliefs. They learned how to organize heritage panels to help combat these problems. This group will be ready to speak to classes at the beginning of 2013. The Unity Club sponsors this group with the support of the PTO.
The students who trained included Ian Shackleford, Katie Ly, Victoria Reyes, Camille Ponseti, Gabby McCloskey, Jake Fuqua, Hallie Tarpley, Grace Kyle, Linnet Kabachia, Khang Vo, JP McLeod, Julio Martinez, Erin Blankenship, Genesis Barco, Joy Korley, Alex Harris, Katrina Holmberg, Frieda Mendez, Judith Paz, Sarah Grace Malone, Jordan Ochoa, and Kailyn Gibbs. Three returning members came to the training as well: Alexys Smiley, Trina Mampuya and Samantha Hollis-White.
