Mrs. Banyard S.T.A.N.D. is a spin-off from the group S.A.D.D., Students Against Drunk Driving. The name stands for Students Taking a New Direction, not only trying to change peer attitudes about alcohol and drug abuse, but also taking a stand about anything that influences or impacts teenagers' lives.
Special reference is made to issues or behaviors that put students at risk.
S.T.A.N.D. is a dynamic, open-ended, constantly evolving club that mirrors the concerns and trends of the times. It is open to all SJV students who want to make a difference in the quality of life. The club is responsible for at least one assembly program during the year.
