Peace means to truly connect and bond with individuals and other factors in life.
Erin Sjursen
11th Grade
Peace is relaxation and not having to worry about what people think about you.
Alex Erling
10th Grade
Peace is harmony, living with one another and not being afraid to be who you are.

7. What does peace look like to you?
We have had many people define peace for us…Even if peace is different for people, is it something we want more OR less of? Can any of this peace be achieved on our own??? If we are to remain true to who Laney HS is, we must join others in efforts to make a difference.

8. Before you go into a partnership …
Have a clear understanding of:
Who you are
Your purpose
What you can offer
The importance of the outcome you are looking for
How the partnership will make both parties better
The effect on each party AND the community
ALWAYS have the end in mind…how will this partnership improve the future???
