In the first High School Community Time meeting, Ms. Wolfe and students discussed the meaning of our schoolwide theme, Optimism, and how we can work together to create a respectful community. The students and teachers have been practicing respectful dialogue by speaking about the upcoming election, and students chose gun control as a focus area that they would like to pursue in greater depth. In the second community time this week, the group evaluated and formed new goals to contribute to a respectful community. They also discussed national statistics on bullying to prepare for their work in October, National Bullying Prevention Month, with an emphasis on self-accountability.
