Type of Project

For students, we offer four one-day retreats and a leadership conference – each focused on a core character value that is a proven catalyst for making schools a better place.

For educators, we offer all-staff and cohort programming designed to transform your school by building relational trust and motivating teachers.

Each year Kellogg sends the 7th grade class to a Courage Retreat for deepening interpersonal skills and relationships, making good decisions, and empowerment to stand up against the crowd.  

Volunteers are desperately needed to help run this exciting and fun-filled day scheduled for Wednesday, May 1st from roughly 8am-2pm.  Unfortunately, there has been significant difficulty finding enough help this year due to all the snow days affecting school and test schedules of high schoolers that typically assist.  Sadly, the event will have to be cancelled if dozens more volunteers cannot be found soon. Please consider helping!

Please contact Angi McAndrews (anmcandrews@rochester.k12.mn.us), the Kellogg principal, if you are interested in learning more or available to help.

We would greatly appreciate any help or sharing with any other groups or individuals.
