We have a new student organization at Evanston Township High School, called Students Offering Solutions, or SOS!
This is a student-led club that has a focus on allowing our students to get involved in numerous activities and projects that go after a variety of problems and issues. These may be local, national, or even global issues, but it is so important that students learn they are capable to help find solutions that can ultimately help others. We are taking numerous projects and activities we've been running through our Chem/Phys Program, and putting them under the SOS umbrella in order to both include more students, and also make things more efficient and effective in the long-term.
The pages will have information more specific to individual projects, and all the sub-project activities that students do. The main page will have more general posts on issues and projects, updates, interesting articles and video materials that are relevant to some of the things students are working on, information on new problems that arise that students are interested in pursuing, success stories of students here and at other schools, and organizational notes and commentaries.
We just want to celebrate students in general who are finding success in helping others and taking on problems at any level! We too often underestimate and hold back young people from trying new things or listening to their concerns or possible solutions to problems - BUT NOT HERE!
Let's encourage students to offer solutions, and see if their ideas work out...it is time to unleash young people and see what they can do!!
