Shattering Stereotypes

Tess, Dana, Sofie, Lizbeth 

The job fields of science, technology, and computer programming are rapidly expanding, yet the numbers of women pursuing these careers remains dismally low. We hoped to uncover the reasons behind this disparity, and figure out how to enact change here at SRHS.

How to get involved: If you are interested in joining our fight against gender inequality, please visit our website (www.cupcakesforfeminism.weebly.com). We are also holding an event at San Rafael High School on February 27, from 7:00-9:00. There will be inspiring speakers, discussion, and cupcakes!

Jake’s Place Cat Rescue

Alec, Kiki, Jack, Cameron, Liyani

Across the United States, many cats are euthanized due to lack of homes, lack of foster homes, as well as people not spaying and neutering their cats. We worked with Jake’s Place Cat Rescue to help raise awareness about this issue and helped them raise money.

Immigration Made This Nation

Vanessa, Olivia, Diana, Rosa, Gabriela

We interviewed members of our school community regarding their immigration stories, and their views on immigration. Our goal is to reveal the common misconceptions of immigration, and to diminish stereotypes by showing the cold, hard truth about it.

How to get involved: Have the conversation with your peers about the actuality of immigration. Don’t jump to conclusions without listening to a story.

SRFM 88.1

Years ago, the San Rafael High School’s radio program was discontinued. Our job is to create a radio club to restart the program, but this time besides music, it will involve current events, student columns, and more.

Nutrition At SRHS

For this project, we focused on the nutrition of the foods being offered to the students at SRHS.

How to get involved: You can contact the San Rafael City Schools District offices with your concerns about the nutrition being offered at SRHS.

Davidson Middle School Health Hub

Emily, Teresa, Ryan, Jennifer

Transportation and Pollution

Vanessa, Riley, Jordan, Joseph, Jackson, Saoirse 

Transportation and pollution are large issues in our world, and San Rafael High School is not an exception. Creating carpool spots, electric car charging spots, and getting a crosswalk at our school are a few steps we can take to lower pollution from cars.

How to get involved: Attend the next Site Facilities meeting on March 25th 3:45PM-5PM in the Principal’s Conference room.

Arts on Campus

Natalie, Sophie, Lulu, Ariana, Chris

Our group interviewed SR students and found everyone agreed that there was a lack of art on our campus, so we decided to change this and make an everlasting impact on our school.
