To boost self-esteem and improve open communication amongst students, Student council hosted events during and after school this week.
Sophomore class president Esteban Andrade said the goal of the week was to allow students to express themselves.
“The main purpose was to make students feel like they don’t have to keep anything a secret,” Andrade said. “They can share it with others, because we are all experiencing our own challenges.”
Andrade said he enjoyed the balloon release on Thursday.
“‘Let it Go’ was my favorite, because we let something within us go – whether it be a worry, a negative remark we were holding on to or something we wanted to say but couldn’t,” Andrade said.
Andrade encourages his peers to continue communicating with their peers.
“Don’t be afraid to say what you want to say,” Andrade said. “We all have problems. This week, you can support others and also support yourself.”
