Sandshore's Peer Mediation Program

Sandshore is proud to introduce its brand-new Peer Mediation Program! As part of this conflict resolution initiative, 25 dedicated 4th and 5th grade students completed six hours of training with our school counselors during lunch/recess to become a Sandshore Certified Peer Mediator. Our Peer Mediators are now equipped to help their peers peacefully resolve conflicts, promote understanding, and build a stronger, more supportive school community.

Throughout the year we will be recognizing students who display the core SEL competencies of self control, self awareness, safety, teamwork, leadership, and empathy.
