“I want kids to have a safe place to come and not be judged if they need help on homework.” These are the words of Veronica Bruns, the new caretaker and manager of our Student Union space in JM. Last year, through lots of hard work, a student action team brought to life their idea of a Student Union.
The goal of the Union is to have a place for kids to go for academic support, but additionally a spot to connect with other students and staff or to just ‘take a breather’. Veronica has many dreams for the space, but a top one right now is that kids will come in and help decorate it (though she already made it look pretty amazing!), as it is their space. She wants them to feel comfortable and put their mark on the school.
