Student Activities

Natural Helpers

The natural helper program at WBMS consists of a group of 7th and 8th graders who are nominated by their peers and teachers. These students do a number of things within our school to help their fellow students. They help with new student orientation, give new students tours around the school as they enroll throughout the year, and meet with a 6th grade buddy twice a week to work on organizational skills. Natural helpers go through a day long training to learn helping skills, and they are much appreciated in our school!

Peer Mediators

Here at WBMS, students are learning how to focus on the problem, not each other, to own their own feeling, and to actively listen to another's point of view. How is this happening? This positive way to resolve problems is through a new program, CONFLICT MEDIATION. Students are being trained to work as peer mediators and help empower other students to solve their own problems. Schools that teach students positive ways to resolve conflicts are aiding in the reduction of violence in our society. Children who learn at an early age to solve conflicts in a positive manner are more likely to do so as adults.
