Learning Highlight: Teens Teach Prevention Team Leads St. James Middle School Wellness Program! 🚭🐯💬
Our Teens Teach Prevention team took charge of a crucial vaping prevention and wellness program for middle schoolers. This initiative highlights the power of peer mentorship.

Peer mentors serve as relatable role models, making it easier for students to grasp important concepts and feel comfortable discussing sensitive topics.

At the end of the month, each classroom teacher will select a student who has truly embraced the spirit of the word. These students will be recognized as "Students of the Month.”
