BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS

“It’s hard to hate someone whose story you know.”

​

COMING TO MHHS: Oct.16 & 17

PHILOSOPHY

Breaking Down the Walls gives all students, regardless of their peer group, permission to talk to each other.

• BDTW could easily stand alone as a violence prevention program as it teaches students how to turn to others in times of question or conflict.
• BDTW empowers positive leaders in a variety of peer groups to help teach the do’s and don’ts of a school campus.
• BDTW serves as a model for teaching school culture by uniting a campus through student led activities that promote school success and pride.

WHAT IS IT

WORKSHOP DAY:

An intense 7-hour day of activities and inspirational interactions 200+ sophomore students each day. Students who attend the Workshops will change the way they view their campus, their fellow students, and most importantly, themselves.
