On January 15, Jr/Sr High School Psychologist Patricia White and Counselor Meghan Pepe took a group of nine high school students to the Students Together Opposing Prejudice (STOP) Conference at Siena College. The event is an extension of the college’s Dr. Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King Lecture series on non-violence. It was an opportunity for middle and high school students to work together to oppose prejudice and bigotry.
At this workshop, students met in small groups and were involved in discussions, activities and action planning with peers from across the Capital Region. Discussions focused on prejudice, tolerance and respect, and how students can act as leaders with these topics within their schools.
The following students attended:
Lucy Burgess, Mikale Exley, Toni Jaramillo, Tiffany Johnson, Tim Lambert, Waykn Murphy, Megan O’Brien, Isabella Toro and John Wallace. Click here to read more about the conference.
