Palo Alto High School’s Unity Club continued to host activities at lunch on Wednesday as part of their Not In Our School week celebration and will resume on Thursday with T-shirt art to promote student expression.
Paly students were invited to participate in writing positive chalk messages around the quad.
“It [the activity] is a chance for students to express any feelings they have in chalk,” Unity Club leader Al Brooks said.
Today’s events also included a game in which a group of students stood in a line and answered yes-or-no questions about their identity, stepping forward or backward based on their response.
According to sophomore Rachelle Marcum, president of the Gay Straight Alliance and member of the Student Diversity Coalition, the goal of NIOS is to make campus a happier place where people can appreciate diversity.
To further that goal, the Student Diversity Coalition will provide students with the opportunity to decorate T-shirts with markers tomorrow.
“We’re decorating T-shirts in the spirit of community and love and we hope people will wear them on Friday,” Marcum said.
