Students will learn about individual and interpersonal building blocks of prevention, wellness, and belonging in “BE YOU”. These will be developed through games, social norm activities, and discussion that promotes exploration of personal Values; Interests; Temperament; Activities to thrive; Life goals; and personal Strengths. We will also develop leadership skills that foster health, hope, and help-seeking in our school and the larger community. The group maintains a close partnership with the Shadle community coalition https://shadleprevention.com/ , allowing student opportunities to participate in things like the Washington State Prevention Summit http://preventionsummit.org/ , school wide awareness and social norms campaigns, and much more. For “field trip” type events, permission slips and information packets will be sent home in advance. This group will meet regularly throughout the school year on the 2^nd and 4^th Monday’s of each month, from 3:30-5pm in the Spartan Center (room 137). The activity bus will be available to bus riders after the club meets.  Students who don't regularly ride the bus will need to arrange to be picked up after the club meets.

Morning meetings can also be schedules as needed to get group projects done. Video Production Club will focus on learning how to operate camera, audio, and editing equipment.  Students will compose news stories that will be shown on the Spartan News.  Although we meet after school the best times to get interviews are before school so come in early if you can!  Students are welcome to come in and learn at their own pace.  This club is open to 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th graders.  If you are interested in joining the class (which is available to 7^th and 8^th graders) being involved in the club can provide you with knowledge and skills that can help you succeed.  Similar to the Video Production class, the club requires students to be leaders as they represent themselves and our school in the news.  If you want to learn what producing professional videos is all about, stop on in and be a part of the Spartan Video Production Club!
