Hello!

My name is Ginny Helmandollar. I am a senior from Louisa County High School and the Blue Ridge Virtual Governor's School program.  A component of my Senior Project is to give back to the community, so I have chosen to begin a podcast called Us, Now. In each episode, I have a discussion with various guests from around my school about relevant social issues high school students face today.

For Episode 5, we will be talking about school safety. School safety can apply to many different things. Mental safety and physical safety are just as important, and even these two categories may be further broken down. Some topics that we talk about today include:

  • What are the different interpretations of school safety?
  • What does "feeling safe" mean, and why is it so important?
  • How does substance abuse factor into school safety?
  • How do natural disasters factor into school safety?
  • How has our conduct in school changed with the increase of school shootings?
  • What is Louisa County High School doing to ensure we are as safe as possible?
  • How can we have real, genuine conversations about school safety?
  • A special thank you goes out to Sergeant Robert Sarnoski, Mr. Jerry Slaughter, Acacia Scott, and Maddox Miller for participating in my podcast! 

    Please fill out the Google Form or email [email protected] for any feedback, questions, or requests for future episodes.

    Thank you for listening!
