Summary: The Perris Union High School District (PUHSD) would like to enter into an Agreement with ANEW Project to inspire and empower students and staff.  The ANEW Project is a team-building organization that focuses on developing individuals through a series of talks, project-based activities, and leadership initiative workshops.  The program is designed to inspire and empower students and staff to create and cultivate cohesive learning environments on school campuses.  The series of workshops, professional development in-services, and activities directly support the development of each student and staff member to reach their full potential.

The ANEW Project will specifically target the following areas with students:
- Creating and empowering students to be leaders
