BLS STAND

As of the end of the 2010 school year, Boston Latin School was named a Core Chapter! Thanks to our amazing members whose support and enthusiasm made the BLS chapter so awesome and to the national STAND network who recognized our hard work.

My co - president, Ann Nguyen, just got back from an amazing time at STAND Camp 2010. We'll be posting her pictures and comments soon.

Peace, Love, and STAND,
Ella Mahony and the rest of BLS STAND

STAND is making a fresh batch of our well supported T-Shirts. They are basic black tees, sporting an image of three faces intertwined within a tree. The faces represent the last three generations; those who have been affected by the current global genocides. The print comes in Blue, Green and Purple, sizes small - extra large adult. They will be sold at all events for $12. Also, green ribbons are ALWAYS available for purchase as well!

Boston Latin School STAND has been busy at work for the first half of the 2009-2010 school year. The year began with a Saturday bake sale raising nearly $70. Our leaders board then spent a weekend in DC attending the STAND conference and returning with wonderful ideas and lessons for the rest of the club. Soon after the members were hard at work preparing for our annual cupcake day! Students were allowed to come and decorate their own cupcake, this event raised a spectacular $333! That, is a lot of enjoyed cupcakes. Next STAND moved its attention to making BLS student body more knowledgeable, through Genocide Awareness Day. Hosting 5 in school sessions, that included topics such as, Burma, Congo, Darfur, Rape as a Weapon of War and Responses to Genocide. After school hours an activism fair was hosted. With fun activities and information both on the genocides and ways they could help.
