Choose to Wait Speaking Valuable Message to 6th Grade Students

We recently got word that the Bartholomew County School Corporation approved bringing our 6th grade Choose to Wait sexual integrity program into all of the 6th grade classrooms in Bartholomew County. We praise God for the opportunity to be in 11 schools during the fall semester reaching approximately 900 students!  The message of the Choose to Wait Elementary program is designed to reveal to upper elementary students the value of self and importance of boundaries for a healthy lifestyle. A key to this message is addressing healthy lifestyle choices beyond that of physical. By examining mental, emotional, social, and ethical choices and consequences in conjunction with boundary setting, students are empowered to reach their full potential and maximize their ability to reach future goals.

Comments from recent 6^th grade presentations include:
