• Students Assisting Students (SAS) is a peer counseling group made up of approximately 20 selected students grades 10-12. 
• SAS members are available to meet with students who have issues that they would like to discuss with a peer rather than with a counselor. 
• In addition, SAS assists the Admissions Team with incoming student issues, in particular, those of transfer students. 
• SAS also hosts a number of events throughout the school year which are intended to improve the overall well-being of the student population.  Examples include St. Nick’s Day celebration and a Valentine’s Day event. 
• Interested students can apply to be part of SAS during the spring application process. 
• In 2010-11 SAS sponsored a very successful open mic(rophone) night and a created a great video for a student convocation.

What's happening in SAS this fall?

• It's St. Nicholas day on Friday, December 7: Reviving an old European tradition, students will leave their shoes in the hallway outside classroom doors in hopes that St. Nick (or an SAS member) will leave them some candy.

  .

• Candy Cane Cheer: SAS will be selling candy canes which students may purchase for someone else. They'll be invited to attach a message, and SAS members will deliver the Candy Cane Cheer to recipients just before school dismisses for the holiday break.
• SAS is creating a video for a student convocation on January 19
• And, the ever-popular open-mic(rophone) night is scheduled for February 3.
