Peer Mediation At Lathrop Elementary Good things are happening at Lathrop Street Elementary School… the Peer Mediation Program is being expanded! Since the 2001-02 school year, fourth, fifth and sixth grade students have had the opportunity to solve minor disputes and problems with the help of specially trained Peer Mediators from fifth and sixth grade. Beginning with the 2005-06 school year, fourth grade students will be trained to help with fourth grade mediations as well as third grade mediations. This has occurred at the request of third grade students. While third and fourth grade students are on the playground together, they occasionally have minor conflicts. The students asked if they could resolve these conflicts via the Peer Mediation Program. Third grade teachers and Mr. Adams, building principal, approved their request. Students n these grades can ask to be mediated, or they can be referred by an adult in the building or by parents. Lathrop Street Elementary School’s Peer Mediators for the 2005-06 school year are as follows: fourth grade – Nicole Lewis, Rebecca Timm, Holly Andre, Anna Ruseski; fifth grade – Katie Brink, Kelsey Brink; sixth grade – Colby Major, Connor Packard, Kurt Kimsey, Jordan Christofaro, Katie Volk, Katie Stranburg, Maura Warner, Meghan Gregory. Mrs. Lee coordinates the Peer Mediation Program, with the assistance of Mrs. Sharon Rosenkrans, Mrs. Margaret Kohnke and Mrs. Heather Jurchak.
