BLUE EDGE PROGRAM
Week 2
Blue Edge Program (Week 2)
This week we welcomed Justin Frankel into our Blue Edge team. Justin is the owner and trainer at JF Personal Training, and he will be overseeing the fitness component of the program. Justin will develop and run the weekly PT sessions, which include 30 minutes of physical training fitness circuits and team building activities. Welcome, Justin!
One of the topics explored during this week’s workshops was ‘Communication and Collaboration.’ Students participated in several team-based activities and games which enabled them to reflect on effective and ineffective communication strategies. Each week, some of our Blue Edge team members will share their feedback on the program and activities. Thank you to Summer and Charlie for this week’s reflection.
