Peace Is The Road From top to bottom.
Over nearly a decade, students and staff have learned together how to form a peaceful place for all those who enter. Eight years ago, when I took the principal's post at Glenfair Elementary School in the Reynolds School District, I brought two key staff members from my previous school, Alder Elementary. Together, this counselor, teacher, and I had led Alder in training all 600 students in resolving conflicts using the Law Related Education curriculum, which features conflict resolution as a key prong. This effort earned us the School of the Year Award from Oregon Law Related Education. Parents at Glenfair, desiring a more peaceful place for their children to learn and play, asked us to bring conflict resolution to their school, too.
