My Students

"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." The students of our Multicultural Club are never afraid to think outside the box and always try to bring their ideas to life. Taking initiative, a part of the leadership role that inspires our students to achieve what they desire.

My students are determined when it comes to projects.

Their constant optimism allows them to start and complete numerous projects that become successful. This represents our tight knit all-girls leadership school. Our school has approximately 600 girls that represent 66 different cultures, a diverse bunch who rival social expectations, as well as embark in their own journeys to become strong independent individuals. Within our club students take on leadership roles such as: entrepreneurs, dress designers, organizers and choreographers to create a sense of responsibility. Despite the varying age groups, we have been successful in bringing all of these girls together through the medium of exchanging ideas and traditions using the overarching theme of culture. Moreover, my students are pioneers; they always take on the initiative to start on new projects that always showcase their infinite compromise to their school, its community and the future of the world.

My Project

The Multicultural Club annually hosts an Eco-Friendly Fashion Show - an event that is organized by the students of various grades. Through this event, students learn about ecological issues that affect all humans. In return, the student body creates recyclable dresses and the Multicultural Club creates the set and props using recyclable materials as well. Various materials including paint, brushes, tape, and others are necessary for the students to be able to complete this project. Our goal is to teach students that no matter what culture they come from, environmental issues affect all cultures equally. Through these types of projects, students demonstrate different skills, that strengthen each of their assets. These kinds of opportunities provide our students different leadership roles that suit their personalities. We encourage our students to reach outside of their comfort zones and connect with their community in order to raise awareness about taking care of our planet.

Eco-Friendly Fashion Show serves as students' safe haven where they can identify, explore and share their different skills without any restrictions.

Furthermore, this type of event promotes tolerance, equality and respect for each individual. Most importantly students have the opportunity to use their imagination and inspire various members in society to stress the importance of saving the planet.
