The packets include information on resources and a copy of a pledge form that will be signed by students all across the country. In each participating school, a count will be made of the number of students signing the pledge. Graham Park Middle School has a yearlong focus on educating staff, parents and students about violence. Authors Dave Pelzer and Sharon Flake are invited during the year to speak about a safe school environment. Henderson Elementary School plans to have each class sign the pledge.
Some teachers keep the pledge posted all year.
During morning announcements, the school will speak about conflict resolution. For more information on events in Prince William County Schools, contact Etta Jane Hall at 791-7265.
