Anti-Bullying Month Focus: Culture Coaches
|
|
 |
In HSD, we believe our students can be great role models and educators when it comes to bullying prevention strategies. In 2017, a high school leadership training program called Culture Coaches was developed by District Recess Coach Jeremy Carter. Upon completion of training, high school students visit their assigned elementary schools to be "recess rockstars" by organizing and playing games with students, modeling positive behavior, and teaching them teamwork, kindness, and respect.
