Peace Mentors at
CLINTON — Last year the students of St.
Anne's Catholic Secondary School embarked
on a new initiative to address concerns
regarding a safe school environment.
The Peace Mentor Team was born out of
this initiative.
The Peace Mentors were chosen by staff,
students and campus ministry as role models
of peace in their school community.
The goal of the Peace Mentors is to ensure
that everyone in the school — staff and stu-
dents — feel like they belong.
Their job has been twofold. Peace Mentors
have mentored and been available for stu-
dents experiencing alienation and social diffi-
culties in the school. Peace Mentors also cre-
ated classroom training programs on school
St.Anne's helping
community awareness which in essence have
challenged the students of St. Anne's to "Dare
to Care" about their school and the people in
it.
The 2006-2007 Peace Mentors will always
be remembered for their version of "Grease
Lightning" called "Peace Lightning." Their
enthusiasm and commitment to this project
sparked a wave of caring among St. Anne's
students. This year's Peace Mentor team pro-
duced a 2008 calendar as a fundraising effort
for anti -bullying initiatives in the community
and the school. If you are interested in buying
a calendar or want more information on the
Peace Mentor team contact Katherine
Demarest or Laura Blackmore at St. Anne's
Catholic Secondary School.
