Sweethearts & Heroes facilitator Josiah McKeon was at Delaware Academy on Monday for the last day of circle sessions for the school year. Here, Mrs. Ainsworth and a group of ninth grade students play a communications warm-up game before settling in for their circle.
Sweethearts & Heroes has been bringing their bullying prevention and intervention message to DA students this year, beginning with morning assemblies last fall, followed by a series of small-group "Circles" throughout the year where participants shared, built connections and strengthened their sense of empathy.
