Mrs. Keller and Mrs. Sanchez are training several 4th and 5th grade students to be Peer Mediators. The students are being trained to provide a safe, scripted, confidential, structured process to assist other students in conflict to end disputes peacefully by reaching mutually acceptable agreements. "Peers Making Peace" is a research based, educator created program that we are implementing through the after school ASPIRE program at DES. You can check out the students in one of their first training excercises by clicking on the youtube website above. Have questions about raising your children?
