Devin Schmidt and David Sigler work with some of the
8th grade boys. For five weeks, eight dedicated high school students came
down once a week during their 7th period class to encourage 8th graders
to choose abstinence. They follow a state-designed curriculum created to
inform and help students make wise choices. Several schools in Idaho
use the PEAK (Peers Encouraging Abstinent Kids) program and many feel it
has had a positive effect in lowering teen pregnancies. Through PEAK, students
also addressed other issues facing teenagers today.
