Middle School (Grades 6, 7, and 8) What Do You Stand For?
“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything” – Alexander Hamilton
Positive character traits are something you can and should develop. This class will explore traits like caring, love, respect of all life, honor, fairness, trustworthiness, responsibility, fairness, and justice – just to name a few. What information and support do you need to make the right choices? How can your personal choices make a difference to you and others? The goal of this curriculum is to help students understand themselves better and to figure out what they do – and do not – stand for.

Wednesday Evenings
Our Whole Lives – OWL (Grades 7-8 Only) 7:00 – 9:00 PM
This comprehensive, faith based curriculum gives information to students about physical and emotional development, relationship tools, and gender identity. The information shared during this class help students see that sexuality is a normal part of healthy human development. The decisions that youth will begin making about their own peer relationships become more and more complex as they grow up – Our Whole Lives helps them determine how to first define their values and then act on them when making decisions about friendships, dating, and commitments. This is not an abstinence only curriculum, but it does stress that postponing important choices and activities until after middle and high school can assure that limitless options and opportunities will be available to students in all areas of their lives as they grow and mature. Our two newest OWL facilitators, David Slade and Kate Larson are heading to Lawrence, KS for training this coming weekend, August 26-28. Tentatively, this is the calendar, but there may be some changes after Kate and David get back from the training – stay tuned!

High School (Grades 9-12) Interfaith Explorations
“[because we are] a family unduly separated in ideas, culture, and interests who, because we can never again live apart, must learn, somehow, in this one big world, to live with each other in peace.” – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This year students work to make sense of Unitarian Universalism in the greater context of interfaith relationships, community building, and personal spiritual growth.
