2. Student WEB Leaders get instructions from counselor Nicole McGuire,
they are all set to help students “Mix it Up” at Lunch.

3. A student survey clearly shows that lunch is “THE PLACE” to mix it up!

4. Students took a Jolly Rancher candy in the lunch line. Counselor
Michelle Gustafson takes care to balance out the tables.

5. The WEB Leaders then led conversations and helped to build new
relationships at lunch, all paired by the random draw of the Jolly
Rancher candy flavor.

6. Here’s a look at some of the conversation starters they had for them on
the lunch table if they needed topics to get them going.
Students used iPads to create stories on “Toontastic”. Digital Learning
Specialists Briana Buck and Dan Pickens led that session.
