This week was filled with spirit week and prom excitement at ACHS! Students learned about teen dating abuse in their YESS classes. Students learned what to look for in an abusive relationship and discussed the connections between dating abuse and bullying. Some classes also had the opportunity to learn about two bills that are currently in the Colorado House that relate to technology and teen dating abuse. Students had a mock debate using these two bills. After the debate students discussed what kind of bill they would like to see passed in Colorado based on their own experiences and what they had learned from the debate.
At the end of the week one of our mentor leaders designed a lesson to guide us into our final unit of the semester. The lesson gave students an introduction to life after high school and got students thinking about their future education and career goals. Students researched the cost of living in areas they might want to live in after they graduate, and began thinking about what kinds of careers would support their desired lifestyles.
