I think we should add a culture day where students can wear traditional clothing from their culture and celebrate our diversity by teaching ours about our cultures. We could also teach everyone about what micro aggressions are and how to make others more comfortable.

I bring fresh eyes to Midland because of how semi-recently I moved here, as well as a Black student at Dow. I also bring the perspective of a person with a more hidden mental illness which is a largely invalidated group.

Honestly I’d add more diversity to my day because in certain classes being one of the only black students is really taxing. I also would add a more diverse history course, though im not taking a history class now i feel like i would be a lot more motivated if we learned historical events from a different perspective.

I could imagine a school where we could have more time to breath, understand, and destress rather than just constantly be in a mode of work work work. A school where people were more focused on making connections and memories, not just making it through the day. A school where we all felt comfortable saying hi to others even when we don’t know them, talking to people about our problems in stead of just holding them in for fear of judgement

It’s noticeable which sports are valued more than others… sometimes that makes JV team members feel like they are unimportant.
I think that there is a lot of pressure on Highschool students to do it all, I think it would be helpful if we added like a study hour or a 30 minute advisory in the morning to allow students to wake up and catch up on school.

Expanding the outlets that students have to express themselves other than in a club setting. That would give those students who don't feel comfortable in a club setting a chance to express themselves.

More language options such as native languages as well as an opportunity to share traditional clothes and foods with others. There isn’t a chance to do that at the moment and I feel like it would benefit the school as whole as well as Midland

We could find ways to make more physically disabled students aware of their options for accomodations, as well as make teachers more aware of these students and their struggles. For those with "invisible illnesses", we could reach out to them in order to build their confidence and encourage them to self-advocate.

Start with Diversity Club members as chairpeople. Then, similar to NHS, do an election. However, it's an anonymous election, where each candidate gets a code name and writes a description/speech for themselves that the current chairperson reads out to the entire board (to prevent bias and help with stage fright). Then people submit their votes and whoever gets the most votes wins.

We agree with the initial idea for the three Diversity club members to be on the board. To provide a chance for other seniors, it would be nice to have a larger board of 5 people. As for the prospective board members, we could expect at the end of this year a presentation on why they should be on the board.

For the remainder of the school year, we believe that the 3 Student Diversity Club leaders should serve as the chair people. For the next school year, we should aim to cycle through leaders from different clubs to facilitate meetings. This will allow different ideas to be presented and give those the opportunity to lead and plan a meeting.
