Saints Spotlight #2

Summary

This edition of Saints Spotlight featured the Santa Ana Active Streets Youth Club, also known as SASSY. Club president Xavier Martinez said he enjoys advocating for people who walk, bike, or use scooters, and helping the club connect with the community. He noted that community outreach takes effort but benefits both residents and club members.

Vice president Anthony Felix encouraged students to join, describing the club as a rewarding way to make friends, share interests, and make a difference.

Mr. Chavez explained that the club advocates for people using alternative transportation, including bicycles, skateboards, walking, and buses. Students can join by attending meetings on Thursdays during lunch in room 8201. Meetings include guest speakers and information about community-service opportunities. The club also planned to help organize the Trunk or Treat event on October 10.
