KUDOS TO LAKE WALES CHARTER SCHOOLS!
Over the past
five years, InnerAct Alliance has taught The PAX Good Behavior Game to teachers
and students in the Lake Wales Charter Schools. PAX means peace, productivity,
and health in Latin. The program teaches peaceful life skills, encourages
anti-bullying strategies, and promotes kindness and team work. PAX has been
embraced by Lake Wales teachers, administrators, and School Superintendent, Dr.
Jesse L. Jackson. Many of the Lake Wales Charter Schools personnel have
attended the nationwide PAX-Good Behavior Game training.
PAX has been
approved and funded by the Federal Government through the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Research and findings for the
program show decreases in suicidal tendencies, drug abuse, and violent
behaviors in adolescents and adults who were exposed to PAX in elementary
school.
We are proud of
the Lake Wales School System for embracing The PAX Program and bringing it to
their teachers and students. InnerAct Alliance looks forward to partnering with
more schools in the future!
