It's actually a competition. Please see Mr. Geis for more information about this course. For more information in general, please contact Mr. Schentzel in Room 114 or call him at 460-1532. Although peer mediation is not the only thing that Peer Helpers do, it is an important component. The purpose of mediation is to empower, train, and support students in their efforts to resolve problems non-violently with their peers.
Mediators assist disputing students to find resolution using a prescribed problem-solving process.
Peer mediation is a voluntary process. We are excited to have approximately 20 eight and ninth grade students as FMS Peer Helpers. They will be involved in a variety of activities throughout the year. Currently we are planning activities for homecoming and are working on a new student social. We are looking forward to a fund and exciting year.
