The #MeToo campaign anonymous stories will be displayed outside the auditorium for the next few weeks. Come visit the display and learn about the different forms that harassment and assault take in our community. Please be aware that many of the stories are intense and may be triggering for some people. A number of resources to help those that may be dealing with the effects of harassment and assault are available in the guidance office. 
Contact Aviva Weinbaum with any questions about the campaign.

Did you know that the average person spends a total of 6.2 years of their life on their period??? 
Women's Rights Club is running a TAMPON AND PAD drive all month! All donations will benefit the Amherst Survival Center so that hygiene products can be available to all that need it!
Look for the signs and boxes located at the school to donate what you can.
Donations should be in sealed boxes or packages. Drive will be up until the end of the month.
We hope that this drive will bring more awareness to a natural part of human experience as well as an important public health need. Without periods, none of us would be here!
