Speak Up is an event to bring together students, parents, teachers, and community members to talk about the more sensitive subjects that affect us in life. The goal of the event is to bridge the gap between children and adults by allowing both parties to “Speak Up” about the problems they have dealt with throughout their lives. This year’s topics of discussion include race and racism, relationships, mental health, and pressure. The event encourages communication and comfort, so everyone is heard and acknowledged. It is a great place to speak about sensitive topics without judgment or fear.
