Freshmen Promote Self-Confidence around School

The traditional morning routine for the average high-school female is to wake up, hours before school starts, in order to prepare themselves: not mentally, but physically. They apply make-up, straighten or curl their hair, and tirelessly strain over clothes for that day. Freshmen Peyton E. and Annaliese S. were the instigators in a day of natural hair, plain tees, and no make-up: confidence day. The two started an event about the day on Facebook late one night, "and it spread like wild fire," said Peyton. 
Through the continuing spread of word, the day went off successfully. All who witnessed and participated were impacted, and many students hope that there is another confidence day soon so that they might participate as well. 




Freshman thought of Confidence Day while scanning through the internet. Though only participated in by freshman, the two hope to repeat this day and include girls from all grades.
