Wood River High School ninth– through 12th–graders enjoy chips and salsa and a preliminary class on healthy relationships at Lago Azul restaurant in Hailey on Monday. Discussion leader Herbert Romero (standing, front) and his wife Mary Romero (standing, back, red hat) initiated the class through the Flourish Foundation and connected with Michel Sewell—the faculty advisor for Wood River High School’s Latino student club Nosotros United and also the high school’s GRIT teacher (Growing, Rigor, Initiative, Integrity and Tenacity)—to find interested students. Restaurant owner Sandra Castillo (sitting, left, red shirt) offered the restaurant as a venue for the class and also as a real-world learning opportunity for the students (who will have a chance to learn how to cook at the restaurant with a professional chef). The class will meet twice per month for the next three months, focusing on healthy relationships of all kinds, from the romantic to the educational and professional. Photo by Brennan Rego
