STAND making impact The Kansan For the first time in more than a year, members of the Newton High School STAND team were able to visit Chisholm Middle School — and when the team visited they wasted no time in showing why they were there. Their presentation to younger students started with a question — one that put the STAND flag in the sand, so to speak. “How many of you think that the majority of high schoolers are drinking alcohol?” Seven Newton High School STAND students recently took over the eighth grade Careers and Spanish classrooms. That question opened conversation between members of Mirror’s high school STAND program and 181 eighth grade students.
