FGL, an acronym for Freaks Geeks and Losers, is a club that meets every Thursday from 2:35-4:00 p.m. in room 335. With a variety of topics, FGL is a place for DHS students to go and share or express things they are passionate about. Whether that be a comic book, novel, TV show, or game, everyone is accepted and encouraged to share what they enjoy. The group of roughly 17 people all come together and engage in different types of activities such as cosplay, discussions, and play games.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t only focused on one thing,\u201d senior and head of FGL Mikayla Tegen said. \u201cWe don’t just talk about writing or art or books or video games, we talk about all of them.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Acceptance is a huge part of this club. Both accepting who you are and others in the group is one of the biggest aspects of this club. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFGL stands for Freaks Geeks and Losers, but this isn\u2019t us admitting that’s what we are,\u201d Tegen said. \u201c It’s us accepting that this is what people call us. It\u2019s also an invitation to anyone who\u2019s ever felt like, or been called a freak, geek or loser, to come together and be these things together. It\u2019s also a message to the people who’ve called us these things that we\u2019ve accepted they\u2019ll call these, but we don\u2019t care. If the things that make us smile and enjoy life also make us freaks, then freaks we shall be, because we really don\u2019t care what we\u2019re called.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8275,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1759],"tags":[2566,1337,1338,2394],"class_list":["post-14907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-clubs","tag-acceptance","tag-fgl","tag-freaks-geeks-and-losers","tag-kayla-dominowski"],"yoast_head":"\nUnkind labels unify students - UPDATE ONLINE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2020\/01\/unkind-labels-unify-students\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Unkind labels unify students - UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2020\/01\/unkind-labels-unify-students\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DHSUpdate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-01-06T13:30:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-01-17T19:59:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kayla Dominowski\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Kayla Dominowski\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/unkind-labels-unify-students\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/unkind-labels-unify-students\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Kayla Dominowski\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/da1e22d93df9ca0951ba644a5c5711a9\"},\"headline\":\"Unkind labels unify students\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-01-06T13:30:05+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-01-17T19:59:32+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/unkind-labels-unify-students\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":272,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"acceptance\",\"FGL\",\"Freaks Geeks and Losers\",\"Kayla Dominowski\"],\"articleSection\":[\"CLUBS\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/unkind-labels-unify-students\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/unkind-labels-unify-students\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/unkind-labels-unify-students\\\/\",\"name\":\"Unkind labels unify students - UPDATE ONLINE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-01-06T13:30:05+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-01-17T19:59:32+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2020\\\/01\\\/unkind-labels-unify-students\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/\",\"name\":\"UPDATE ONLINE\",\"description\":\"H.H.
