Restorative Justice in the School- December 2016 Meeting

Thank you to Millersville University for hosting the December 2016 meeting of the Lancaster County School Counselor’s Association! After dinner, Mila Pilz of a local Conflict Resolution Services organization and Chris Fitz of the Center for Community Peacemaking led us through a thought-provoking presentation on Restorative Justice Practices for Schools. For those who could not make the meeting, I would highly recommend reviewing the websites for both organizations to learn more about the services offered and the topic of restorative justice.
Announcements:

• Please keep an eye out for two upcoming events hosted by Millersville University: Counselor Information Day for all PASSHE universities and a PACAC college fair in March.
• Fran Rodrigues from the Community Foundation Scholarship Program presented financial aid opportunities that are available to high school students in Lancaster County through the Community Foundation.
• Lisa Fulton provided information about the value of a RAMP designated counseling program and recommended the implementation guide published by ASCA for further insight to developing and implementing a RAMP designated program.

Thank you to everyone who could attend this month’s meeting! We look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year!
Happy Holidays,
Laura Witt, LCSCA Board Representative
