Letter from the Editors Activism is defined as “the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change.” The Booster staff felt that student activism was a significant topic to feature in our paper this issue. We wanted to inform our readers of the importance of activism, relay how to become involved and highlight students that are already active within SHS and our community. It is our goal to improve our students’ activism within our school and community, hence the center spread theme for this issue. We want students to be proactive and involved within the school,
community and this world. As tomorrow’s leaders, we are responsible for creating change and bettering our schools and communities. As a staff, we recognize the world’s need for proactive and involved students. We encourage all SHS students to get involved and assert their influence toward making a positive change. We decided to begin our Letter From the Editors in the hopes of explaining our center spread concepts and promoting further interaction between The Booster staff and the student body. It is our goal to be your voice.
