STUDENTS AGAINST VIOLENCE EVERYWHERE ~
ELEMENTARY
Young students at the elementary level are primarily
engaged in the educational component of the
SAVE
program. Classroom teachers, assistants, parent volunteers,
mentors, or older SAVE students
teach lesson plans from the
SAVE Essentials Manual
to entire classes or grades within the school. Conflict
management is one of the more popular Essential Elements
focused on at this level. For primary grade level students,
the SAVE Essentials
Manual offers the Ernie the Elephant Coloring Book series
designed by students. Ernie helps young students learn about
weapons safety, communication, and respect towards others.
Service projects are conducted at
the elementary level either by a class, grade level, or
the entire school. Such projects have included: collecting
canned food, creating posters or drawings with non-violent
themes and displaying them in their school and community, or
establishing a peer mediation program involving students
to aid in conflicts with their peers and younger students.
