Our Lady of Lourdes School
G.R.E.A.T. Program 2008

NEW this year to Our Lady of Lourdes School is the G.R.E.A.T. Program! G.R.E.A.T. is an acronym for Gang Resistance Education And Training and is a law enforcement officer-instructed violence prevention curriculum that teaches students important skills to help them avoid gangs, violence, drug abuse and crime. Its purpose is to help students develop beliefs and practice behaviors that will help them avoid destructive habits including:

•  the truth about gangs and violence;

•  the student's roles in their family, school and community;

•  identifying realistic goals and how to reach them;

•  how to make good decisions;

•  how to communicate well;

•  developing empathy for others;

•  how to deal with peer pressure;

•  how to handle angry feelings;

•  how to resolve conflicts.

Thank you to Sgt. Donald Petry of the Milltown Police Department who's passion and dedication to the program helped prepare our students for success in school and in life!
