During the 2017-2018 school year, we took over the Stand for the Silent project, originally started by Caleb Jones and Theo Greer. The leadership scholars worked with the Thousand Hills Rotary Club and their leadership mentor, Professor Chandrika Collins. The goal of the project was to raise awareness about, and ultimately reduce, bullying and depression at Kirksville Middle School. The leadership scholars developed curricula and planned and executed an event consisting of four sessions at Kirksville Middle School. During the event, the leadership scholars and volunteers covered multiple stations with the students, teaching them about the dangers and effects of bullying, and resources available to them.
