Current Jefferson Clubs
Alphabet Safe Space is a Gender and Sexuality Alliance that works to:
Promote a more inclusive and accepting learning environment for all
students. Reduce harassment or teasing, especially related to a person’s
real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. Provide a safe
place to discuss concerns such as: how to support a friend who is
realizing he/she/they are LGBTQIA, how to respond to direct harassment
or joking remarks about sexual orientation or gender identity, and where
to get help if you or a friend need it. Plan events to educate the
school community and to debunk stereotypes about LGBTQIA individuals and
issues. Empower young people to become leaders and role models within
their school community. Have fun!
Players of all levels are welcome. Contact: paredesmc@midlandps.org
The focus of Culture Club is to celebrate cultural diversity and its abundance in Midland and right here at JMS. In this new millennium, we are exceedingly connected to the entire globe through technology and business. It is likely that our students will someday work in a career that will require global/cultural skills. Students in the United States are not always as globally prepared as they should be, and we are part of the force behind changing that. We want our students to be better global citizens!

Peer-2-Peer Depression Awareness is an advocacy group working to abolish
stigma around mental health. We work to help those with mental health
issues get the resources they need. We also help to provide others with
information about mental health, and how to handle it appropriately when
necessary. We use games and activities to help students figure out
emotions, understand signs of depression and other mental health
difficulties, and lower the stigma around mental health, all while being
in a fun, safe, and welcoming environment.
