A visit from The Guest Stars will allow the students in my building to learn strategies for dealing with real world issues associated with peer pressure. They will also master strategies for elevating self-esteem. Issues which affect learning are very much present in our school. The developmental delays, cognitive impairments, limited social skills and impulsive behaviors make it difficult for our population of students to comprehend the importance of their choices and actions. A majority of the students are auditory and visual learners. They learn and retain information that they see and hear. Through this assembly, students will learn what bullying looks like, how it impacts the lives of the inflicted, the long-term effects and the consequences connected of such behavior. Students will learn important information about what to do when they feel depressed, alone, or unloved. Through an engaging skit, students will be able to identify topics associated with peer pressure ( drug use, fighting, misuse of social media, sexting) and learn strategies for coping and understanding that saying “No” is okay. Your donation to this project will make a difference for the 550 students in my school building. Students will be able to focus more on skill building because an assembly of such magnitude will change the mindset of the students and motivate them to make better choices. The topics that will be presented are aligned with our curriculum which is taught daily in our first hour Social Responsibility classes. By extending these topics through song and engaging interactions, students may make connections and select appropriate choices that may result in positive outcomes that have the potential to impact their lives.
