The Weekly Ranum: Edition #25

Hello!

This past week featured two snow days on Wednesday and Thursday so we really only had Friday to do work which had us learning about Forgiveness.

It's a great topic and definitely a tough concept for anyone to understand at any age. The idea that forgiving somebody for something, no matter what they did, shows a lot of maturity and it actually leads you to be a happier individual. It was definitely hard for students to wrap their heads around that someone does not need to apologize to them in order for them to show forgiveness.

We will be finishing our talks about Forgiveness today!

We also had our usual Mentor Monday and Tutoring Tuesday which went great.

Have a fun week before Spring Break!

The Weekly Ranum: Edition #24

Hi all,

This past week we had our usually Mentor Monday and Tutoring Tuesday.

For the rest of the week we focused on Dating Violence/Abuse. We had some really deep conversations on Wednesday where students shared their experiences and views on the topic.

Many students have seen some sort of dating violence/abuse either in their personal lives or somewhere within their family/friend networks. All students were at least somewhat aware of the topic because of movies/tv shows. We also discussed a lot of the teen dating violence statistics and I think that hit home a little more for students about how real of an issue this is.

The rest of the week we created Public Service Announcements to educate ourselves and others about the topic.

Have a great week!
