The Start of a New Year in PA....


At the start of a new year we have some new students and some returning students back to work in Public Achievement again.  Our returning students have struggled at the beginning of the year since they have repeated the democratic process of deciding on an issue and have chosen 2 completely new issues. Going through the process of meeting new coaches and working in new teams has led to some growing pains. The students are working to find their roles in these new situations.
The two issues selected this year are: bullying and working with kids who are hospitalized.
These are two difficult and complex issues that the students are spending time exploring along with learning to work as a team and with new adults in their lives.
