Our middle school at Sand Creek just completed the Sierah Strong Self-Defense curriculum during this first semester. The curriculum aimed to empower Sand Creek students with functional knowledge and skills to be self-aware of their surroundings and practice self-defense. While Sierah’s life was cut short at the hands of a repeat violent offender, her family loved her so much that they put together this incredible learning tool with the hope of preventing other families from experiencing the pain of such a tragic loss. The spirit of Sierah’s life continues through the education and practice of lifesaving skills in our schools and community. As a teacher, I was so grateful to be trained this past summer and able to deliver this valuable training to our Sand Creek students.
