Safe School Ambassadors attend retreat and training
The Safe School Ambassadors in grades 8-12 just completed an all day retreat and training. These students were selected from survey results where their peers identified them as admired and trustworthy.
Since students can have a powerful influence on each other, this training focuses on how the students themselves can recognize acts of unkindness, and learn the intervention skills they themselves can safely implement.
This year's training event was a particularly powerful experience since the returning members entered the day with an explicit intention to be honest and open with each other.
Thank you to the 11th and 12th grade SSAs who planned and presented many of the day's activities, and then showed by example the incredible power of personal vulnerability and responsibility.
