Congratulations! Your child has chosen to participate in thePeer Mediator Training Program as part of being a Peer Facilitator for the 2014-2015 school year atCitadel Middle School. This program is aimedat helpingall of our students solve problems in peaceful ways. On Thursday, June 5, your child,along with approximately 35 other students from other middle schools in Coquitlam, is invited to attend the all day Peer Mediator Leadership TrainingDay at Winslow Centre (beside Como Lake Middle School). The purpose of this training is to introduce students to Peer Mediating and to enhance communication and helping relationships within the Peer Facilitator group.
This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to build on existing positive leadership skills, develop new friendships with other leaders in the school and to become even better at helping others solve problems. Peer Facilitatorsneed to be willing to give up one lunch break each weekwhen they would be on ‘duty’ on school grounds to help other students.
On the Peer Mediator Leadership Training Day, students are required to wear comfortable clothing and to bring a healthy snack as well as lunch. Students are responsible for any work missed. We will be leaving from Citadelat 8:45am and returning by approximately 2:30pm.
We NEED parent drivers to make this event possible! Please indicate below if you are able to drive to and from Winslow Centre, 1100 Winslow Centre Ave B, Coquitlam (ph. 604- 936-0491)
Please return to Karen Leeden by Monday, May 26. Thanks so much for your support!
