CHAMPS, which stands for Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety, equips students with essential life skills and knowledge to make informed, responsible decisions.
Throughout the program, students engaged in discussions on critical topics such as bullying, alcohol awareness, home-alone safety, child abduction prevention, and internet safety. Their commitment to learning and personal growth was truly commendable.
To recognize outstanding participation and achievement, top-performing students were honored with awards for their exceptional engagement in the program. We are confident that the skills and values instilled through CHAMPS will serve them well in the future.
