Amazing day for SAES students that participated in The Positive Painting Project! This project promotes positive mental health through creating art that expresses positive thoughts and feelings. @ShalerArea @LIGHT_init @BergstromMedia

These lanterns, created by families and survivors of Oct. 27th and 10.27 Healing Partnership staff, are in honor of the Monterey Park community and @mpkhope on the first commemoration of the Lunar New Year tragedy. We stand with you. May their memories be for a blessing.

🧵 As you honor my father today, I earnestly hope that you also remember and honor my mother. #CorettaScottKing #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK

Last week, students from SAHS, along with staff members Cat DiPasquale, JoAnne Townsend, & Nick Haberman with @LIGHT_init attended the Eradicate Hate Student Summit. It was a powerful time of collaboration and imagining better possibilities together with @EradicateHate_.

Rachel Coleman ‘26 was inspired by the @light_init to bring human rights teachings and social justice topics to campus. See how Chatham's LIGHT Club is making a positive change through student-led projects ⬇️ bit.ly/454wOMR
