>Wisconsin HS Stomps Out the Silence

>A high school in Wauwatosa, WI has found a creative way to participate in this year’s Day of Silence:

The Wauwatosa West High School Gay Straight Alliance will be holding a Stomp Out the Silence Day on Wednesday, April 8.

Stomp Out the Silence is the school’s way of participating in the National Day of Silence, a national youth movement started by a group of students to show others that people who are different cannot really be themselves or express themselves…

West High School’s step team will be performing at the end of the day as a way to show they are “stomping” out the silence.

What type of creative events are you planning for this year’s Day of Silence? Dancing? Singing? Modeling? Let us know, in the comments section below…

• ‘Stomp’ coincides with national event (Wauwatosa Now)
