This club was created by Cedar Mill students. They meet 2-3 times a month during lunch recess.  Fifth grade students come together to address bullying, safety and racism. Students work together on: current issues, communication skills, and methods for problem solving.  They meet together as a whole, with allies, and in affinity to support all students.

Staff Sponsors: Mrs. Phelps & Ms. McGarrity

1. Students request a meeting with the administrator to explain their club idea, when they plan to meet, and the club's purpose.  

2. Students find a staff member who is willing and available to be the group's sponsor.  The sponsor's purpose is to teach students how to run an effective meeting and supervise once students decide how their meetings will run.  Adults do not set the agenda for student groups.

3. Student may begin to advertise their club after the first two steps are completed.  This includes advertising during recess.

4. Students are required to have a sign-up sheet available for any student who is interested in participating.  Groups are limited to 30 students each.  If the number of interested students is  greater than 30, alternate meeting times will be added to avoid excluding anyone.

5. After completion of these steps, the group may begin to meet with their sponsor.
