What kind of peer-to-peer education and support programs are available to students in Sumner SD schools?
Natural Helpers: Our three junior high schools have active Natural Helpers programs in place. Twenty students from each school are trained in peer helping skills at an annual retreat. These students meet regularly with their staff advisors throughout the year to discuss issues that other students bring to them. Some students are also used in welcoming new students to their buildings. For more information, please contact JoAnn Stansell (SJH), Jerry Turner (MVJH) or Mike Atkinson/Rina York at LJH. Support for the Natural Helpers program comes from our Safe and Drug Free Schools Grant and building based funds. Peer Mediation: SHS and LJH have active teams of students who have been trained in the Conflict Resolution Unlimited (CRU) ‘Peer Mediation’ model. When disagreements occur, school administrators, counselors or campus safety officers work with trained mediators and students who are in conflict to resolve issues. Please contact your building principal or guidance counseling office for
