The Peer Mediators provide dispute resolution services for students having conflict with one another. Two peer mediators meet with 2 students in conflict. The goal is to help the students reach a win-win agreement. What gets discussed is confidential. Request a mediation in the Student Services office (223).

To learn more about Peer Mediation, contact Mr. Trousdale at ttrousdale@leyden212.org.

In Gardening Club, students learn the basics of horticulture. They are exposed to a variety of gardening activities, learn the basics of perennial and annual plant varieties, and work in the school greenhouse by propagating and taking care of plants. Meetings are usually on Thursdays, with our first meeting planned for September 14th.
