Kevin Faulk and Matthew Slater of the New England Patriots visited East Boston High School on Friday (Dec. 9) to lead Training Camps for Life – a program that educates students about teen relationship violence. They were joined by retired Patriot and East Boston High School alumnus Jermaine Wiggins and retired Washington Redskin Pete Kendall, a football standout at Boston College.

More than 3,000 men and women screened the award-winning documentary “Telling Amy’s Story,” through a partnership with Dress for Success Worldwide (DFS). Praise has poured in from 43 screening events, which took place at DFS affiliate locations throughout the United States, Canada, and in New Zealand, Australia.

“After screening this film, I would stand up for someone else and know what to say,” said an attendee from Cincinnati, OH.

Jason Falls, a leading educator, public speaker and thinker in the world of digital marketing and social media, is calling on teachers to embrace social media in the classroom and harness the power of that technology to expand learning opportunities that have never before been possible.

“Social media and the ability to collaborate and communicate through the Internet tears down geographic boundaries [and] brings cultural diversity to students that normally wouldn’t have it,” said Falls, founder of Social Media Explorer.
