Girls Circle (for grades 4 & 5)
The concept of “forgive and forget” is sometimes lost on girls of this age, especially when
the hurt is deep and the friendship is fractured. This seven-week program is designed to

resolution skills to their own situations and encourage healthier relationship alternatives.
Choosing friends wisely and being a good role model foster self esteem and confidence
which can alleviate inner-conflicts that can begin in childhood and explode into violence
years later. Topics include: What is a grudge?; What role have you played in grudges, past
and present?; and, Selecting from a menu of behaviors that can resolve or avoid grudges.
