faculty members. Also she passes out the W.A.S.C action plan. We have a new
program being introduced this year called T.O.P.S ( teens offer peer support )
it is a mentor support group, there is currently 29 teens to reach out to other
students. Donna would like to send both teachers and students to a training
seminar called National Coalition Building Institute.

month to come to the HSC meetings to share with us a little about themselves,
