FHS Girl Up schedules a self defense course for May 11

"Hey FHS! Girl Up, in partnership with ABD (@abdfranklin), organized a self defense course for 5/11!!! There’s limited space available for students and staff so sign up while you still can :)

It’s important that we learn how to defend ourselves in the hope that everyone feels comfortable and safe (although we hope you never have to use what you learn). If at all before, during, or after the event you need anyone to talk to please don’t be afraid to reach out <3 "

Pantherbook: Girl Up club leads “A Discussion on Gender Equality" ; FHS switches to 'in person' learning Apr 12

"On Thursday, March 25, students met through the Girl Up club for “A Discussion on Gender Equality.” The meeting was led by Girl Up Teen Advisor Angelina Perez.

The meeting drew local participants as well as Girl Up members from LA, the British Virgin Islands, Syracuse, and Washington D.C.

The discussion started with the simple question, “How have you been impacted by sexism or misogyny?”

April 12th is the finalized date for when Franklin High will be having nearly eighty percent of their students back in school. The CDC recently approved that it is safe for students to now be three feet apart in classrooms.

When talking to Mr. Hanna he explains how there are many different safety measures put in at FHS for not only the students, but the staff as well. There will be a maximum of twenty four desks per classroom all measured to be at least 3 feet apart, there will also always be six feet between a teacher and a student.

FHS Girl Up Club schedules virtual discussion on women's rights - Mar 25, 6:00 PM

From Angelina Perez:

I wanted to let you know about an event that my Girl Up Club is hosting this Thursday (3/25/21) at 6:00 PM. The event will take place via zoom and it is going to be a discussion on gender equality. 

This event will also be a place where people can discuss their experiences with sexism and misogyny and also discuss intersectional feminism and gender based violence. The event will be recorded for people to watch. 

Anyone is allowed to attend, they don't have to be a member of Girl Up as many FHS students will be in attendance. There will also be Girl Up global leaders/youth activists at the event. 

I've attached a pdf flyer that also has the Zoom link attached to it.
