Eighth grader McKenzie Sloan, a member of the Principal’s Advisory Council at Southern Local Jr. High School, is pictured decorating a new kindness board in the main entry of Southern Local Jr./Sr. High School where faculty, staff, and students may share affirmations and other encouraging words to help build a positive school climate. The “At Southern Local, YOU Matter Here” message is also part of the YOU Matter Here campaign underway through the Columbiana County Educational Service Center to stress students’ importance in both school and the community and help them grow up healthy, caring and responsible.
