April 24, 2026: The Alain LeRoy Locke College Preparatory Academy STF Chapter hosted 8 classes for their SBRR experiential tent event. Participants learned about the history of human rights and why the Chapter is drafting a Student Bill of Responsibilities and Rights for their campus. They also reviewed the results of their Taking the Human Rights Temperature Survey and shared additional feedback the Chapter will use when drafting their SBRR articles. Event participants highlighted a desire for more space for student voices, better quality food in the cafeteria and improved relations between admin, teachers and students. Next steps will be for STFers to incorporate the feedback into their draft SBRR! Photo by Bianca T-S
