Hope Squad builds community at CCHS

Hope Squad students have been busy kicking off the new school year with a focus on connection, peer support and building a positive school community.

‍

Over the past several weeks, students have worked together to plan activities for the year, develop new ways to connect with their classmates, and prepare for Suicide Prevention Month throughout September. Part of that work has been finding ways to reach students where they are, especially through social media.

‍

During the first week of school, Hope Squad members created a reel sharing helpful advice and positive messages with their classmates as they started a new school year. Last week, they followed it up with another reel introducing this year’s Hope Squad members, helping students put faces to the peers who are there to listen, look out for others, and help connect them with support when needed. Through both in-person and social media outreach, Hope Squad is working to spread awareness and make sure CCHS students know they have people in their corner.

‍

They are developing an outreach plan for the school year that includes visiting classrooms, hosting events and activities for CCHS students, and creating more opportunities to connect with their peers. Their plans extend beyond the high school as well, with hopes of connecting with younger students at schools throughout the district and becoming more involved in the Fallon community.

‍

The goal is to strengthen connections and share Hope Squad’s message of students supporting students.
