Toki Middle School's Justice Club Asks for Community Help

Channel3000:

Some Toki Middle School students are shining a positive light on the school, despite recent negative incidents.

On Monday night, several Toki students spoke before the Madison School Board.

"We're there, we care and want positive things to be noticed about Toki too," explained one student.

"Toki Middle School is a unique learning environment with a lot of vibrant successful students that are a reflection of the teachers," said another student.

The students were part of the school's Social Justice Club.

"People at Toki make mistakes and learn from their mistakes just like everyone else in the world," said one student.

Those mistakes were the two separate school fights that were videotaped with a camera phone and posted on Youtube.com

District officials said the students involved were disciplined.

"Toki is a wonderful school," said Superintendent Art Rainwater. "It's filled with wonderful kids and wonderful teachers and somehow in the rush to the press and the rush to complain we lose sight of that.
