The Peace Squad

The Peace Squad is a leadership program at Walker Upper Elementary School for 5th and 6th grade students who become trained to safely help students who are involved in bullying situations and to promote kindness in our school and our community. Students are often more aware of bullying situations than school personnel and parents, so this program is designed to give them the skills needed to play as much of a part of preventing and responding to bullying as the adults around them. Students in the Peace Squad are nominated by their peers for being respectful, responsible, and always willing to do the right thing. We hope to create a climate where it is cool to be kind and that targets of bullying behavior will feel more confident, cared-for, and welcomed by their peers. Once you're in the Peace Squad, you're in it for life, so students are expected to carry their Peace Squad responsibilities on to future schools.  

At this time, 144 kids have been trained in the Peace Squad.  Each year, we will continue to train about 50 students.

Your donation will help to fund the Peace Squad for the next 5 years.  

Thank you so much for helping us to end bullying and to promote kindness!
