•The female image in society
•How to deal with the death of a loved one
•Bullying and you
•Youth image in our community
•Parental/family relationships
•Staff-to-student communication, and
•Friends helping friends.

“We believe that open dialogue lends to better instruction for students,” states Michelle Irwin, director for community relations & programs. “Dialogue Day aligns with our new instructional practices that include authentic learning experiences and an opportunity to express oneself in a manner consistent with our national freedoms. 

It is a way to train students on effective communication and perception of the individual rights of all.”

The sessions will run from 9:08-9:53 a.m. and 1:08-1:53 p.m.  Riverside Academy is located in the L’Anse Creuse-Mount Clemens Adult Education Center at 33 North River Road in Mount Clemens.
