Friday, April 21, 2017 7 Brooklin Town Crier A BHS "Girls Night In" Showcase In order to show female high school students how important it is to just be themselves and proud of who they are, Brook- lin High School English teacher Saamah Jadoon organized a Girls Night In event earlier this month. She was assisted by Payal Lathia and Rima Tsiris. (See their story on page 3). About 90 students, mostly from grades 9-11, participated along with 26 female staff members in an afternoon and evening of special activities. Each student paid $10 and those funds along with a $4,000 Speak Up provincial grant and fundraising ventures allowed the event to go forward. Students were treated to a meal courtesy of the school's culinary arts class and took part in a variety of activities that included manicures, key chain making, art therapy, tie dying, a photo booth, and karaoke. The leadership activity was perhaps the most intriguing. As seen in the photo to the left, girls were challenged to stand on a bench then rearrange themselves from largest to smallest shoe size, without saying a word or leaving the bench.
