Students at the ZONE were asked what they thought of bullying and how they could help to stop the growing epidemic. Many of their solutions incorporated some form of the Golden Rule, as well as notifying an adult.

With the Holidays fast approaching, students were asked to think of ways in which they can help the less fortunate. Their ideas ranged from a talent show, to a food drive, to selling caricatures on the street.

On our 4th and 5th meetings at University Preparatory Academy’s The ZONE, students were split into three groups, given access to netbooks, and tasked with reassembling various pop songs that had been spliced into twenty-five separate pieces.
