Congratulations to PEACE JAM/ Day Without Hate EVENT

Standley Lake HS is extremely proud to announce that our Day Without Hate Event received a NATIONAL award yesterday from the Peace Jam Foundation- 

- DWOH won the coveted Global Call To Action award that is a nationally recognized award.  Members of the national Peace Jam organization along with CBS Channel 4 news were on hand yesterday at the school to present the award- 

In 2007 Mr. Ben Reed and English teacher at SLHS along with a small group of students were discussing school violence and the Virginia Tech shootings.  At that very moment they had a vision..  A vision to do something.  From that vision and the fortitude of these young men and women begun the Day Without Hate.  Since 2007 the event has grown immensely.  Last years event had over 120,000 students participating not only in JEFFCO, but across the state, onto college campuses and even into other neighboring states.  The culture and awareness that DWOH promotes and enables has been nothing short of amazing.  This award is not only very appreciated, but well deserved. 

Below is the news clip from CBS Channel 4 and a picture of this years Peace Jam/DWOH students participants-
