Peer Leaders Share Lessons Learned
Thank you to our high school peer leaders for their well-prepared
presentation on the dangers of vaping. With training from John Martin,
an educator from the Suffolk County Department of Health’s Office of
Health Education, the student leaders highlighted the lessons they
learned with eighth graders in an interactive format. With some
icebreaker activities, fun games and a Powerpoint presentation, the
students shared how they support one another and engaged in a dialogue
with the younger students before their entry into the high school in
September. “These students did a great job in educating and empowering
the future high school students,” school social worker Kristin Britt
said.
