Breaking Down the Walls

Starting this coming Friday (January 19) Leland will be participating in a special program designed to build campus community.  This is a pretty special event that has been organized and sponsored by ASB.  I encourage you to check it out and if you are interested to apply on the form below.  I have copied information for you below.  Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Breaking Down the Walls

Breaking Down the Walls is formed to bring unity on campus.  Leland is doing a 5 day program consisting of a motivational speaker on Monday 1/22, and day long workshops 1/23-1/26.  Breaking Down the Walls gives all students, regardless of their peer group, permission to talk to each other.  This program teaches students to understand that they are not alone by bringing to light the notion that other students share the same concerns, questions, and experiences they do.  We are looking for students from ALL grades and groups.  Participation in workshops requires you to miss class for the full day, but is a 100% EXCUSED ABSENCE.
