Seton Middle School STAR
STAR (Student Teacher Advisory and Recreation) groups are guidance-based groups of 10-14 students from the same grade level who meet on a daily basis with a teacher/mentor. The sessions involve introducing and reinforcing gospel values, service activities, coping strategies, etc. through group discussion, role-playing, games, individual conferences and intramural competitions. The small group setting with a teacher/mentor is designed to create a support network for each individual and to develop an understanding and valuing of self, others and life experiences.
Over the years, STAR has evolved into an excellent program that was recognized in 2009 by the State of Wisconsin Character Education Partnership (WCEP) as a 'promising practice' through the Wisconsin Schools of Character program.
