Peer Helpers workshops a great success!!

On June 15, 2007...

The Peer Helpers of JC Hill School finished up their Peer Education workshops today, and it was awesome.

The proudest moments of my work is not when I do a great job, it's when I see young people taking charge making a difference.

I am so humbled to have worked in such a progressive school, with an administration and staff who recognized the need to invest significant time in helping young people succeed outside of the class. Special thank you to Mr.s Louise Jill, Principal of JC School. She is retiring after this school year. And the kids, what an amazing bunch of young people. The best I have ever worked with! The grade 6, 7, 8's have not only made a difference in the school, but also in me. I thank them for trusting me and allowing me to work with them.
Here is Geri, Felecia, Holden and Chase presenting their workshop in Bullying. Check out how well this class is paying attention.

Here I am with the Peer Helpers.

Last but not least, I also want to thank Michelle for being the backbone for this program. She initiated this, and without her help, this opportunity for JC students would not have been possible.
