On September 24th, representatives of the 7 schools supported through Project PEACE came together in Jonesboro to share their experiences over the past 3 years and learn from national experts. Our guest speakers were Dr. Patricia Hershfeldt of the Northwest PBIS Network as well as Allison Schreiber and Melissa Chavez from the National Center for School Safety. We also heard from our evaluation team at OBRE who gave us a great overview of the past 3 years.

All schools explained how they had spent their grant funds (e.g., PBIS materials, data tools, interventions, counselor supplies), how their school climate data had changed during the 3 years (everyone reported positive outcomes!), how their classrooms and culture had been impacted through their action planning, and finally, how they plan to sustain their progress. It was fascinating for the schools to all hear how the other schools had experienced Project PEACE!

We want to thank everyone who participated for making this a successful event! It has truly been an honor working with all of the wonderful people at the seven schools: Annie Camp Jr. High in Jonesboro; Fox Meadow School of Creative Media in Jonesboro; LISA Academy West Middle School in Little Rock; Mann Magnet Middle School in Little Rock; and the 3 Fayetteville Schools: Holt Middle School, John L Colbert Middle School, and Ramay Jr. High School.
