EDISON, NJ The Wardlaw+Hartridge School in Edison hosted an on-campus retreat as part of its Peer Leadership Program in mid-November. Traditionally, this retreat takes place on the two days leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday with the senior peer leaders and the entire freshman class traveling up to northwest New Jersey for an overnight trip at Fairview Lakes YMCA Camp. As with many of our plans this year, we had to reimagine what the retreat experience would look like with some of our ninth graders and peer leaders attending via Zoom.
“While we can’t discuss what was said (because what happens at PL stays at PL) I can share that I saw lots of smiles throughout the day! The peer leaders put a lot of thoughtful planning into making our reimagined retreat just as special as the one they experienced as ninth graders,” said Miss Tanda Tucker, faculty advisor to the Peer Leadership program.
