H.B.W’s Peer Leadership Club

What Can Peer Leaders Do For Our School?

What Is the Peer Leadership Club All About? Our Mission…. The Peer Leadership Club presents an opportunity for students to use their experience to influence and support their peers in a positive way. We will work together to create and deliver motivational messages to fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students emphasizing the importance of education and encouraging our fellow students to make good choices, treat others with respect, and stay away from drugs and alcohol.
