Introducing THE EDGE: Life Skills That Set You Apart! Our ESP program is launching a new Life SKills series designed to help students build the skills they need to succeed in school, the workplace, and beyond!

 Our first lesson focused on FIRST IMPRESSIONS and how to make them count! Guest speaker Rachael McKinney helped students understand what a first impression is and the habits that can help them leave a positive, lasting impression.  

Students put their skills to the test by voting on real-life scenarios, deciding which interactions made a good impression and which ones needed work.  They also used their investigative skills to break down social interactions and identify what made the difference.

To finish, students practiced making their own first impressions with a teammate, who scored their interaction and provided feedback!

The goal? Help students build confidence, develop essential life skills, and gain THE EDGE they need for future success!
