What happens at Just Ask?
- As the first elementary school to participate in Just Ask, we worked with a small group of approximately 8-10 grade 7 students
- With 2 teachers and Mr. Pedersen , students attended the annual Just Ask conference alongside multiple high school participants
- During the next few months we met and the students created their own school-wide initiative to gather student voice around the pressures of school, stress and the way we share our learning.
- The results were shared with our School Council, at our spring Arts night and at the Just Ask Gala dinner event
