Student Ambassadors
Next school year, STMS will be having a Student Ambassador Program. The purpose of the club is for these learners to have an active leadership role in welcoming new learners and creating and maintaining an accepting student environment. Below, I have listed some possible tasks/expectations of the Ambassadors:
Members will:
- Provide an introduction for new learners starting during the school year that includes:
- A tour of the building, following the new learner’s schedule
- Help locating locker and opening if needed.
- Provide guidance with Empower, Office 365, and Teams.
- Be a buddy at lunch for new learners first several days.

The WAVE Channel 13 Student News
The WAVE is an ongoing tradition at STMS as the student produced and student run news channel. We air all of our shows on our YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe for updates about new content! The WAVE crew embodies some of our hardest working learners who work together to write scripts, anchor and record shows, and produce them for the rest of the student body. We focus on any and all school news, world news updates, birthdays, and other student celebrations. Currently, due to Covid-19, we are meeting twice a week on teams to record the show and produce 2 shows/week on YouTube. All 6-8th graders are welcome to apply!
