Their presentation will address how to flirt, how to recognize when it’s invited, and how to ask for what you want without being "creepy," as well as how to deal with consent violations, both as the person having consent violated and the person who violated the boundary. More info to come about where and when to tune in!

  • Sammy Lee was an American diver, an Olympic diving coach, and the first Asian American man to win an Olympic gold medal. Originally named Samuel Rhee, Lee was the first diver to win Olympic gold medals in the platform event back-to-back. Lee was born on August 1, 1920, in Fresno, California to two Korean immigrants. He faced racism and could only use the public pool in his community once a week before it was drained. He won the national AAU championship in the 3-metre springboard and 10-metre platform events while he was a student at Occidental College in 1942. Lee retired briefly from diving to attend medical school, and served in the U.S. army medical corps during the Korean War. He returned to diving for the 1948 Olympic Games, where he earned a bronze medal in springboard and won the platform event. He won the gold medal for the platform event again at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki before retiring completely from diving. Lee then focused on his medical career and coaching Olympic divers. He coached the 1960 US Olympic team, the 1964 Japanese squad, and the 1964 Korean squad. Lee was inducted into both the International Swimming Hall of Fame and the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. He died on December 2, 2016, in Newport Beach, California. - Written by Isabelle Camara for the International Students Club AAPI Heritage Month Celebration
  • For today's Consent Week activity, we will be watching Jackson Katz’s fabulous TED Talk titled “Violence Against Women -- It’s a Men’s Issue” and having a discussion afterwards.

  • It's Wellness Wednesday
    Today's tip: Create a Personal Mantra!

    What's a mantra? It's an affirmation, a motivator and an inspiring phrase.
    Mantras help affirm the way we want to navigate our days and anchor us when things may be tough. They can serve as a guide and center our attention. They can serve as a reminder (and give us the time) to take a quick minute for a deep breath. 
    Mantras become more powerful when they are alive to you! Say them outloud, write them down and hang them up somewhere you will see regularly!
    It can be as simple as "I've got this" or "Today, I'm doing the best I can with what I've got " OR "Yes, I can do hard things!"

    Need some ideas to create a meaningful mantra? 

    PS- Our Wellness Wednesday Tips are often inspired by people in our community. We will keep highlighting those who inspire us in our weekly tips.
    This week's tip is inspired by the Kindergarten at Pelham Elementary who have been discovering the power of mantras all year and learning new ones to try each week! 
    How amazing is that?

  • Dwayne Johnson, also known as “the Rock” was born on May 2, 1972, in Hayward, California. He was born into a wrestling family. His father is Black and his mother is Samoan. He attended the University of Miami on a football scholarship and went on to play professionally on a Canadian team before pursuing a wrestling career. His debut into the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) was in 1996 as Rocky Maivia, Maivia being his mother’s maiden name, and won his first of many world championship titles in 1998. Johnson’s career then went to the big screen, with his first movie appearance in The Mummy Returns (2001). Since then he has been in many more films including The Fast and the Furious, Tooth Fairy.

  • Isamu Nogochi was a critically acclaimed Japanese-American sculptor in the 20th century, who explored his artistry through architecture, sculpture, gardens, ceramics, lighting, furniture, and set design. As an internationalist, Nogochi traveled throughout his life, adapting concepts and techniques and applying them to his work. He learned of the impact of large-scale public installations in Mexico, the brilliance of gardens and ceramics in Japan, the precision of marble in Italy, and ink brush techniques in China. Upon the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the following racism that Nogochi was subjected to in the U.S, he was propelled to become a political activist. In 1942, Noguchi co-founded Nisei Writers and Artists Mobilization for Democracy, which was committed to raising awareness of the patriotism of Japanese Americans. Soon after, Noguchi travelled to Washington D.C to lobby for the civil rights of Japanese-Americans. Isamu Noguchi worked with many mediums and was monumental in his artistic visions, allowing onlookers to reflect on his perception of forms and space. - Written by Tae Weiss for the International Students Club AAPI Heritage Month Celebration

    Meena Keshwar Kamal was a revolutionary political activist, women’s rights activist, and a feminist who fought for women’s rights in Afghanistan.  She was born on February 27, 1956.  Like students all over Afghanistan, Meena was deeply engaged in social activism and rising mass movements when she attended school.  She attended Kabul University, but eventually left and founded the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan in 1977 (RAWA). This organization promotes women’s rights, providing education and voices of “deprived and silenced women of Afghanistan'' (RAWA). She also organized many meetings in schools to mobilize public opinion, establish a bilingual feminist magazine in 1981 called Payam-e-Yam (Women’s Message) that exposed criminal natures of fundementalist groups, and founded Watan Schools to help refugees. On February 3, 1987, Meena was assassinated by KHAD (Afghanistan branch of KGB) in Pakistan. Despite the fact that she was killed, she brought many hopes of freedom and equality for women in Afghanistan. - Written by Karin Zeng for the International Students Club AAPI Heritage Month

  • The Tape Family was a 19th century Chinese-American family living in San Francisco. Joseph C. Tape and his wife Mary Tape, both born in China, came to California in 1869 and 1868. Mary and  Joseph Tape were desegregation activists who campaigned for Chinese-Americans' right to schooling, most famously in the 1885 case Tape v. Hurley, in which the California Supreme Court ruled that public schools should not prohibit their daughter, Mamie Tape, from attending school due to her Chinese ancestry. On 9 January 1885, Superior Court Judge McGuire decided the case in favor of the parents, writing, “To deny a child, born of Chinese parents in this State, entrance to the public schools would be a violation of the law of the State and the Constitution of the United States.” The School Board appealed the decision to the California Supreme Court. Fearing a negative ruling, the Superintendent of Public Schools in San Francisco sent a telegram to the California State Assembly Representative urging the passage of pending bills to reestablish a separate school system for Chinese and other "Mongolian" children. This gave the San Francisco school board the authority to establish the Chinese Primary School in San Francisco. Though the Tape family had lost their appeal, their anti-school segregation fight laid the groundwork for future anti-segregation cases throughout the nation. -Written for the International Students Club AAPI Heritage Month celebration

  • Its Wellness Wednesday!

    May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
    Mental Health Month was established in 1949 to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness in Americans' lives, and to celebrate recovery from mental illness. Mental health is essential for a person's overall health. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that 20% of youth ages 13-18 live with a mental health condition. Prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can recover from mental disorders and live full and productive lives. (youth.gov)
    Here are a few tips from the Mental Health First Aid, a group that has teamed up with Lady Gaga's Born this Way Foundation, to increase awareness and break down stigma for those living with mental health issues. Check out their website for more https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/2019/06/five-tips-to-help-teens-cope-with-stress/

    1. Get some sleep.
      Getting enough sleep helps you grow and develop normally, pay attention throughout the day and maintain overall health. For teens, this means about 8-10 hours each night.
    2. Focus on your strengths.
      Take some time to think about what you’re good at and ways to do more of those things. By focusing on and building your strengths, you can keep your stressors in perspective.
    3. Do things that make you happy.
      Find activities or hobbies that make you happy and incorporate them into your daily life. This might be a physical sport, an artistic outlet or spending time with family and friends.
    4. Engage in physical activity.
      Exercise takes our mind off stress and releases chemicals in our brain that make us feel better. This can be anything from a stroll in the park to a bike ride or basketball game with friends.
    5. Talk to someone.
      It can be hard to manage stress alone. Talk to a parent, teacher or other trusted adult about your problems and they may be able to help you find new ways to manage your stress.
    If you are struggling and aren't sure where to turn, there is help and support for you here at ARHS. Reach out to your guidance counselor, a trusted teacher or staff member and get connected to some supportive resources right here at school.

  • Taylor Rapp is a free safety for NFL football team Los Angeles Rams. Rapp was born December 22, 1997 to a Chinese mother and white father. He grew up in Bellingham, Washington with his older brother and they played football, baseball, and ran track. As one of the only Asian-American students in a majority white environment, he was racially taunted and mocked for his Chinese ethnicity. He was frequently overlooked by recruiters and had coaches trained not to develop Rapp as a player. "It was hard to get recruited. I felt like I didn't look like a typical football player to college coaches, you don't see a lot of football players who are Asian." Nevertheless, Rapp was recruited for University of Washington and played three seasons there before being the fifth safety drafted in 2019 (61st overall). In the second round of the draft, the Rams selected him and he played 15 games and recorded 100 tackles his rookie season. Recently, with the increased violence and hate towards Asian-Americans, Rapp joined a growing group of Asian-American athletes who are supporting their community and standing up to anti-Asian hate. He started his NFT (non-fungible token) collection and will donate much of the proceedings to the #StopAsianHate Go Fund Me campaign. - Written by Ava Polak for the International Student Club AAPI Heritage Month celebration

    Note: The courtyard is the outside area across from the cafeteria (not the side parking lot, the other side of the cafe).
