L.E.A.P. Launching This Fall
The Lindsay Bennett Memorial is pleased to announce that L.E.A.P. (Lindsay’s Education Awareness Program) was introduced as a pilot program in four middle schools in Henderson this fall. L.E.A.P. is a program aligned to the current middle school health curriculum to help students make responsible and healthy lifestyle choices in today’s changing society. L.E.A.P. supports efforts to ready eighth grade students in the transition to high school.
There are few resources available for middle school awareness programs. The Memorial, along with health and science teachers and administrators from the Clark County School District, structured a comprehensive unit focused on decision-making that meets the Common Core State Standards and the Nevada State Standards by connecting resources in our community. L.E.A.P. provides an opportunity to support our community while preparing students to transition to high school with improved skills related to making positive decisions in a variety of situations. The materials contained in L.E.A.P. implement strategies with tangible results that impact student choices in all settings.
Our commitment is to support, organize and record all data associated with the pilot program to develop and structure a middle school awareness program that will ultimately be available to all middle schools and students. Fundraising through LB3 and other fundraising efforts, including our 2012 and upcoming 2014 golf tournament, will provide support for L.E.A.P.
We want to thank all of you for your support in the fundraising efforts that made L.E.A.P. a reality. Without you, we would not have the resources needed to carry out our mission.
