Mt. Si High plans Day of Silence
Mt. Si High plans Day of Silence
At Thursday night's tense Snoqualmie Valley School Board meeting, Principal Randy Taylor read the following letter, which revealed for the first time that Mount Si High School would be holding a Day of Silence event.

Currently the GSA is still in the early planning stages for the Day of Silence. While some initial conversations have occurred, much of the GSA's recent focus has revolved around the response to the Martin Luther King Day assembly. This week, however, the students of the GSA began to concentrate the group's collective efforts on the preparations needed for the Day of Silence on April 25. The club plans on building on a successful event last year (where approximately 230 students participated with no reported incidents) and is looking for ways to make the day even more successful and meaningful.

While the specific planning of the Day of Silence is just beginning, the student members of the club have already begun to discuss the importance of the day and they recognize the significant amount of effort, communication, and coordinating such an event demands. Likewise, the students of the GSA are aware that with each year, strategies and insight are gained from previous experiences that strengthen the day and make the event run even more smoothly.

Currently the GSA is working toward:

o Fostering an understanding that the Day of Silence is rooted in raising awareness of those GLBTQ students and allies who do not feel safe enough to speak their true voice and that the day is open to all students wanting to bring attention to the phobias, prejudice, and hate in their given community or environment.

o Forming a coalition with other student organizations and clubs at MSHS to co-sponsor and plan the event.

o Proactively addressing the blatant misconception that participating or not participating in the Day of Silence is about choosing a side and drawing lines over GLBTQ rights.

o Currently, with the staff training that was started last year, to again emphasize the professional responsibilities of staff members wishing to support the Day of Silence and how student learning is always the main priority.

o Working with the administration to provide better communication with parents and the community prior to the actual event.

o Developing a more enforceable policy that requires all participants to once again attend a pre-event information meeting where student expectations, guidelines, and rules for the day are made clear.

o Creating a forum where, after the event, the GSA can discuss the outcomes, celebrations, and newly discovered obstacles with the board and the district leadership.

o Recognizing that each year presents itself as a learning process, the leadership involved in the Day of Silence is always open to consider suggestions, comments, and feedback regarding the planning and execution of the event.
