Press Release Summary = Delphian School high school students helped prepare the 3rd
annual Teen Maze in McMinnville, Oregon. The Teen Maze is designed to demonstrate
the possible effects of certain choices for 8th graders.

Press Release Body = Eight Students from the Delphian School worked for over a month
to help prepare the 3rd annual Teen Maze, which was recently held at Linfield
College in McMinnville, Oregon. The Teen Maze is an interactive learning project
designed to demonstrate the possible effects of real life choices for 8th grade
students.

Delphian School students worked with students from Linfield College and from other
local area high schools to create a maze. Each school created a "room" in the maze
that was intended to impart a lesson regarding "choices". The Delphian School room
in the maze was sponsored by Henderson House, a protective shelter for victims of
domestic violence and sexual assault. The room was given the topic of "Safe Dating"
and was geared to help eighth grade students to tell the difference between healthy
and unhealthy relationships.

The students, led by the Delphian School's Community Outreach Organizer, Victoria
Sene, created a board game that they called \"Safe Dateoply\". It is life-sized board
game that shows what can happen as a result of a good or bad decision in starting a
relationship.

The 8th graders were also taught a dance to help them remember what they had
learned, and by the end of their visit to The Delphian School's section of the maze,
they were shouting out the room's slogan: \"Safe Date, It Decides your Fate.\"

"I think these kids really enjoyed doing the dance and playing the game," said
Victoria. "All the kids left with smiles on their faces, and I really enjoyed
teaching them something that will help them when they get into high school.\"

The Delphian School is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school
offering college preparatory, English-as-a-Second-Language and summer programs for
elementary through high school students. The Delphian School is licensed to use
