Welcome to the June 2018 edition of Hope House's Community Education E-bulletin!
2017-2018 School Year Presentation Total
May 31 was the last day of school presentations for Hope House's education team. For the 2017-2018 school year, they facilitated 530 presentations to K-12 youth at 42 elementary, middle, and high schools in 19 school districts as well as to teens at the Boys & Girls Club in Baraboo, a group of Girls Scouts in Baraboo, the Sauk County Teens N Theater group, and to teens participating in a Shanty Town event in Lodi. Many thanks to our school and after-school partners in helping us reach so many students with presentation topics, such as respect, protective behaviors, healthy relationships, anti-bullying, internet safety, sexual harassment, consent and sexual assault, dating violence, childhood domestic violence, bystander intervention, gender roles and violence, media literacy, and more. If you'd like to learn more about or schedule Hope House's youth presentations for the school year or the summer or presentations offered to adults, please contact the Hope House Resource Center at 608-356-9123 or send us an email. Here are just a few quotes from high school students on their presentation evaluations:
