Congratulations to Scottsbluff Senior High School’s Amber Moore!
Thanks Amber, for sharing your student’s success. It shows the confidence that builds when practice and social inclusion are provided for our kids over time.
One of the biggest success stories is about a student who was once a focus student and evolved into a mentor. When this student joined the group 4 years ago, albeit a little reluctantly, he would sit off to the side and just observe. He did not want to interact with his peers or engage in activities. As the years progressed I observed this student come out of their shell more and more. Last year he did a television interview, jumped in the Polar Plunge, and started leading group activities. This year he is a leader in our Circle of Friends group and has developed additional friendships outside of the group. I could not be more proud of the young man that he has become. Circle of Friends allowed him to develop his social skills at his pace and in a loving environment.
Amber’s Tip:
We play team building games each week that foster friendship, communication, and compromise.
