Below is a list of Clubs & Activities that are offered with contacts for more information. Some clubs include a video. Hope you find something you like!
A World Of Difference
The Peer Training Program provides diverse groups of students in grades 9-12 with the opportunity to facilitate and sustain positive social change in their schools. Each group of students is trained to lead developmentally appropriate activities and discussions with their peers on bias-related issues pertaining to race, ethnicity, culture and other aspects of human diversity. These peer leaders will lead informational discussions with the 9th graders later in the year after their training. See Ms. Connolly (lconnolly@norwood.k12.ma.us) in 351, Ms. Lowe-McLaurin (slowemclaurin@norwood.k12.ma.us) in 159, or Mr. Reyes (dreyes@norwood.k12.ma.us) in 270 for more details. Please note that all students interested must first apply.
