A SHOUT OUT TO SWEAR/PEER OUTREACH STUDENTS

In the months of December and January a group of junior/senior SWEAR and Peer Outreach students led small group conversations with students from every grade around the topic of consent and the importance of being an active bystander. These are incredibly important peer-peer conversations to have and we will continue to organize more discussions as the year continues. A big shout out and thank you to the following students for taking the time to lead these discussions and for believing so strongly in the cause.
