The main reason Wellington’s Addy Schnelle chose to join SCCDAT was how impactful she thought she could be.
“I decided to join this club because it sends a very important message to the world that I wanted to be a part of,” Schnelle said.
Schnelle believes the work she and her fellow club members has been beneficial to Wellington High School.
“Over the past three years, I learned that it is very important to be involved and use your voice for the right reasons,” Schnelle said. “I think I have changed it a very positive way by being more aware of different things going on in the world.”
There are a variety of events the Wellington SCCDAT club arranges on a yearly basis.
“At Wellington, we run Red Ribbon Week for every school, chalk outside to write positive messages, influencing the elementary schools by using holidays to send them informative things, and grim reaper week,” Schnelle said.
If a student at Wellington or any other SCCDAT school was interested in joining, Schnelle said they should have zero hesitation.
“I would recommend them to join and be a part of SCCDAT because it gives students the chance to make a big difference in their school and community,” Schnelle said. “It will help develop leadership skill and create a supportive environment for others or yourself.”
