Peer mediation is not listening or peer counseling. Mediation is simply mediation. Mediators do not inject their own thoughts into the process nor do they give advice. Mediators remain neutral. Mediations usually take about 10-20 minutes.
Most disputants leave with their conflicts resolved, or at least a goal toward a resolution.
Although the Yearbook is generally assembled by eighth graders, kids in all grades may participate by taking photographs with the school camera. Students may also contribute photographs taken with their own cameras. We will meet on day 2's, at least once a week. Members are involved in many activities at the Wildlife Sancturay, working with track pads surveys, using radio telemetry with wild animals, and conducting howling surveys in Northern Wisconsin. Some members will travel to Clam Lake to work at the Elk Reintroduction Project for a weekend.
