selected and trained each year to participate in the

non-violent manner. The mediators provide this service
during lunch and recess throughout the year. Four
students are recognized each month for their outstanding
performance as mediators.

(yellow, green, blue and red), all halls have names, and
each class has a mailbox. The entire student body and
staff participate in this program.
