Empowerment Sessions....
![Picture](/uploads/9/2/7/5/9275303/226553029.jpg)
Two sessions were held today(March 1st) at Study Hall and were facilitated and taught by President Jasmine Dantzler and Secretary Hakeem Clinton..."Respect." This class was for all of the sixth grade boys.
"Bullying and Cliques" (for the girls) was taught by Vice President Makayla Fuller. She wrote two skits and several Student Government Secretaries acted out the skits. Many important facts and statistics were collected from the show of hands of the sixth grade girls. Parents and students, please pray for the safety, decision making, and connections of all of the sixth grade students. Silence is a bully's best friend. Students, tell your parents, your pastor, a teacher, or an adult family member that you trust if you are being bullied. Clinton Christian School has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for bullying.

The Student Government proposed that all sixth graders wear hoodies for Trayvon Martin. The entire school will be invited to participate in the event. Students will wear uniforms and be able to wear hoodies. We are Believers, so we are going to believe that God knows all, He is omniscient, He is sovereign, He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, He cares for all humans, and He desires a relationship with all human beings.
