This year, the NPFH@DKJA Club
Members, along with their advisor, Amanda Brooke, have built upon and expanded the
inter-school and intra-school collaboration projects. In November 2014, our
high school Certified Peer Trainers led hugely successful “Becoming an Ally”
workshops with ALL of our school’s 5th and 7th grade students. On December 8, 2014 nine of our
certified No Place for Hate Club Peer Trainings conducted trainings with adult
ADL Certified Co- Facilitators at Waters Edge and Spady Elementary
schools. This training benefitted more
than 100 public school students.
Joseph Zeuner, Daniella
Wirtschafter, Sydney Altschul, Mikaela Mesch, Sydney Moed, Paris Reise, Yarden
Shai, Sarah Fleishman, and Lielle Elisha were the
FIRST EVER Anti-Defamation League Certified Peer Trainers to lead intra-school
trainings. The program content and
curriculum was all originally planned and organized by the Club’s Advisor,
Amanda Brooke with the approval of Lily Medina.
The NPFH Peer Trainers have been preparing on Sundays, during lunch and
after school meetings for a couple of months now. This is a remarkable accomplishment achieved
through hard work and two years of dedication to our school club.
Marianne
Altschul and Craig Zeuner generously gave their time and assistance driving
students to Water’s Edge and Spady Elementary Schools to be peer trainers as
part of the program:
Becoming An Ally: Interrupting
Name Calling and Bullying – An interactive program for elementary and middle school
students or teachers which provides practical opportunities to address
name-calling and bullying.
In November 2014, our high
school Certified Peer Trainers led hugely successful “Becoming an Ally”
workshops with ALL of our school’s 5th and 7th grade students.
