The Emmie Effect 

Led by Emmie Levy, a nationally experienced speaker, the Emmie Effect is a confidence-building initiative designed for middle school students. This will feature a 90-minute interactive talk that combines personal storytelling, practical tools, and engaging activities to help students build self-esteem, practice kindness, and navigate social dynamics. The program will be integrated into the Peer Leaders program to strengthen its impact by equipping Hommocks students with tangible strategies to develop confidence and resilience. This initiative aims to foster a more supportive and inclusive school environment, ultimately contributing to stronger student outcomes and a healthier school community.
