Leslie Hankins

On January 20, 17 AYS students graduated from the AYS Peace Posse at John StrangeElementary. The two-week violence prevention program led by AYS employee Lisa Murrell traveled to each Washington Township AYS program, beginning with Fox Hill Elementary and ending with John Strange.

Graduation began with the students reciting the "Peace Posse Pledge." Then, each student spoke about what he or she learned in the Peace Posse. Responses included teamwork, self-esteem, self-control, communication, cooperation, helping others and asking for help from others. Each student received a certificate to show that he or she was a member of the Peace Posse.

Each Peace Posse will continue as a club with the aid of program staff. Murrell will visit each of the schools again throughout second semester. The students will create t-shirts and practice a drill team routine that will be showcased at Eastwood Middle School on April 21 at 7:00 PM.
