STUDENT IN ACTION: WHO ARE WE?
CONTACT US!
Here is some background on what Students in Act ion is all about! SIA is part of the
Jefferson Awards Foundation. The three main pillars of SIA is LEADERSHIP,
ENGAGEMENT, and IMPACT. Here at Wando, we have adapted SIA as a way to
unite our school so we can better support our own clubs' goals and init iat ives.
Students in Act ion is made up of representat ives from any club at Wando that
part icipates in community service. We meet once a month to discuss each clubs'
future fund raising events, any community service events in the community that
need help, acknowledge students are showing outstanding service, etc. We create
a newsletter for that month and decide on a Service Leader for the previous
month. We talk about ways we can support each other to unite all of our efforts to
build a posit ive community.
If this organizat ion at Wando is something you want to be a part of, please contact
