Green Park STOP Team keeps playground safe

Green Park Intervention Specialist Barbara Thatcher and students involved in the Students Talk Out Problems or STOP program reported to school board members March 4 the program is having a positive impact at their school.

The STOP program began in 1993 as a way for students to help other students resolve conflicts. Currently 47 students in grades 4 and 5 are participating in the volunteer program. STOP students must maintain excellent grades, be a role model and wear bright yellow vests during the lunch recess to be easily identified.

If they witness a conflict they have a structured step process, including having the students involved sign an improvement contract, to put a stop to the negative behavior.
