Allison, Cameron, Maria, and I are coaches at Godby High School. PeaceJam at Godby is a little different from PeaceJam at other schools. At Godby, we have two different groups of students. The first group is the club that meets during lunchtime and the second group is an actual service learning class where PeaceJam comes in once a week to teach. The Club The club is made up of about ten students. It always seems to go by really fast. By the time the students come into the classroom from picking up their lunch, we have 20-25 minutes left with them. Allison usually jumps right into the decision topic with them. This group of students, although small, is very animated. They all have their individual opinions and are not afraid to share them. The Class The class is made up of about 20 to 25 students. Cameron, Maria, and I are there every Tuesday for a full period. We start off by reminding students of our last session. We go over what they learned and ask them if they have any lingering questions. Then, we remind them about the conference date and cost. Afterwards, we usually do a quick icebreaker activity by taking them outside to the courtyard. We play games like linked and grocery store. The games are usually 15-20 minutes and when we are done we go back inside to start our discussion for the day. Our discussion topics are made up of topics that the students want to talk about. We very briefly cover Nobel laureates because Mrs. Marquez teaches them Featured School 1-2 Success Stories 2 GCA Project Updates 3 Photos 4 April 2013 Volume 1, Issue 3 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO: Alexandra Thomas (4/1) Savannah Hartnett (4/4) Brandon Mordecai (4/13) Megan Hall (4/23) Michelle Avaroma (4/23) Jaime Bayo (4/24) Emily Waters (4/27) Find us on PeaceJam Southeast @PeaceJamSE www.peacejam.nationbuilder.com Continued on page 2 Donate to PeaceJam Southeast: peacejam.nationbuilder.com/donate
