Write to Recover will be busy getting ready for February, 2014 teen dating violence awareness and prevention month. The girls will be designing a display case outside the counseling offices at the high school. There will be signs up around the school to bring awareness to the problem and inform students where to go if they need help. Also, the two large banners that were donated last month will be hung up at the school.
Show your support for the ending of dating violence by wearing orange on Orange-Out Day, February 11th. Teachers in the Winneconne Community School District can make a small donation to the cause which will allow them to wear jeans to work on Feb. 11th.
Feb. 14th is National Respect Day: show your support by having a discussion with your child about safe dating, healthy relationships, and where to go for help if your student needs it.
A guest speaker from Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services, Inc. will be at the high school on Feb. 20 and 25 educating freshmen on safe dating.
A journal drive will be held at the high school. Journals are an excellent tool to use to help victims recover from abuse. Writing out your emotions acts as a catharsis resulting in improvements in both physical and psychological health.
Students donating a simple journal or cash donation will be entered to win a safe date. We are hoping local businesses will donate to our cause so we can provide 3 "safe dates" through our raffle.
