and the caring we share with one another. Sponsors: Mrs. Deb VanBenschoten

S.A.D.D. Chapter—Students
Against Destructive Decisions. Many teenagers want to take
positive steps to prevent their peers from using drugs, alcohol, tobacco,
and other substances, but don’t know what to do. The SADD Chapter,
incorporated with Key Club International, is currently working on “The
Impact Project.” This project is designed to actively involve
students in preventing the use of illicit substances among pre-teens.
Each month members work on special required activities. There are contests
the students body can enter sponsored by SADD. Dues are $5.00 a year,
which puts the club in the local and state level. All SADD Chapter
members are Key Club members and should attend meetings.
Student Council—The Student
Council is the governing body of the student population at Arthur Hill.
The council consists of twenty-eight members. To become a member, students
must be elected by their peers. Elections are held twice a year, in
May and in September (Freshmen). The total student population elects
the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Each class
elects six class representatives. Students must have a cumulative GPA
of at least 2.0 and must meet citizenship, attendance, and petition
rules governing Arthur Hill High School and Student Council by-laws.
Advisors: Mrs. Claire Yost and Mr. John Gravlin.
Volunteer Opportunities Binder—This
program allows students to have an easy path for volunteerism. Students
peruse the various opportunities listed, finding local opportunities
for one-time, ongoing, and group offerings. Once students have located
the volunteer opportunity of their choice, they can refer to the Volunteer
Opportunities Box. Students can also receive one-half credit for 90
hours of volunteer work experience. Proper forms must be completed.
The Binder and Box are both located in the REAP Office. See Mrs. Sharon
Coleman.
Young America Cares! This
program is aimed at children in elementary schools teaching them that
they too can make a difference in their community. It gets the message
of volunteerism across through a puppet show. There are many jobs available:
MC, working backdrops, sound system, being a puppeteer, singing, and
also setting up and taking down the set. Contact Mrs. Sharon Coleman
for more information.
Young Educators Society—The

teaching as a career. The focus is to cultivate qualities of leadership,
character, and scholarship, and to provide opportunities for students
to explore positions available in the Education field. Meetings: 1st
and 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7:00 a.m. in the auditorium. Students
must be interested in the education and teaching fields, have a GPA
of 2.5 or higher, and fill out an application form at the beginning
