Topics You Wouldn’t Learn in a Classroom
The Persist Kids program is an opportunity for students to learn about different topics that you wouldn’t necessarily learn in a classroom, such as body language, overcoming obstacles, celebrating successes, and goal setting. In their ability to develop friendships, they’re able to brainstorm together, come up with solutions, so in that manner, it’s positively impacted students in the classroom but also outside of school as well.
