Class of 2023:
Did you know 94% of us will never perpetrate violence against our partner, yet 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men are in a violent relationship in his or her lifetime because we stay silent about this issue.
On Tuesday, March 28 from approximately 8:00am-11:15am, you will participate in a workshop provided by the One Love foundation called The Escalation Workshop. The workshop consists of an introduction and video that all of you will view together and then a group discussion facilitated by your peers, who have been trained by One Love.
Here are a few reminders for the One Love Escalation Workshop:
- You must arrive at school by 8am. Senior Passes/Privileges may not be used prior to 11:15am on this day.
- You will sign-in with your 1st hour teacher. You will be called down to the Auditorium after prayer. If you are unscheduled for 1st hour, still sign-in with your teacher. If you have a permanent 1st hour off, sign-in at the Reception Area.
- Please bring all your belongings with you when you are called down to the Auditorium.
- You will join 5th hour after the workshop.
