Junior Hope Squad at AES

We are happy to celebrate Emily Larsen and Avon Elementary School for receiving an EFEC Classroom Grant to support the life-changing and impactful Junior Hope Squad program. We are thrilled they can shine a light within our young community!
“The goal of the Junior Hope Squad program is to build the capacity of students to create a safe and inclusive environment for all students. Hope Squad members learn specific skills on noticing students who are struggling, being good listeners and getting adult support. They also teach lessons about these concepts to other students in the school and become models of showing acceptance and compassion.” - Emily Larsen
