When the "CTE Ambassadors" walked into the Fisk Elementary gymnasium recently, they weren't just high school students in matching t-shirts—to the wide-eyed elementary school students, they were a glimpse into the future.
The visit was part of Fisk’s monthly School Wide Community Celebration (SWCC), a tradition designed to unify the student body. This month, the theme was "Hard Work." But for the Salem School District, the event represented something much larger: the real-world rollout of a strategic initiative to expand peer mentoring across all grade levels.
