He brought his message of the Bystander Approach which addresses the peer culture around norms around domestic and sexual violence. He challenged the audience to raise the bar and feels that we need to refuse to be silent when things are being said or inappropriate actions are seen.  He is working with a community group to develop a mentoring program to address this important societal issue.

Busy Covering Classes

With Spring sports season we find ourselves (Mr. Biel and I) covering a lot of classes so our teams can catch ferries to various events. It gives us a chance to get into various classes, but we are also able to stretch our Athletic budget by doing this.

Good luck to our Ultimate and Golf Teams today!
