Willowcreek Middle School and Fegely Middle School will be implementing a LifeSkills program in the fall, thanks to a grant they received from the University of Colorado.
The LifeSkills Training program grant through the University of Colorado’s Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence will provide training, technical assistance, and curriculum materials for each school for three years beginning in the fall of 2019. According to the Center’s LifeSkills website, the program focuses on anti-drug norms, drug refusal skills, self-management skills, general social skills, anger management, and conflict resolution skills.
Portage Township Schools would like to thank Director of Title I and Special Student Programs Linda Williams for writing and applying for the grant to fund this valuable program. We would also like to recognize Willowcreek Middle School principal Michelle Stewart and Fegely Middle School principal Ann Marie Caballero for their leadership and efforts in implementing the LifeSkills program at their schools.
