Music that Describes Stephanie


Stephanie Mogul was nominated by her colleague, Judy Bremner.

"I met Stephanie this past school year.  She volunteered to be a safety liaison for her school in order to help implement the Sandy Hook Promise Programs 'Start With Hello' and 'Say Something,'" said Bremner. "These programs are part of the recovery program as a result of a tragic shooting that took place in the Broward School District on February 14, 2018.  After what happened, the District needed people to step up and put measures in place so that nothing like this ever happens again in our community. Stephanie definitely stepped up!"

Ms. Mogul was the first to volunteer to be a safety liaison. In this position, she has implemented Start With Hello, which helps students recognize social isolation and teaches them how to bridge the gap and make connections with the isolated student. She has also implemented Say Something, which teaches students how to recognize signs and signals of potential violence, especially within Social Media, and report that information to a trusted adult. Ms. Mogul not only implemented these programs, but she also serves as a sponsor to the SAVE Promise club at her school, which is an effort to sustain these programs in future years. Ms. Mogul and her students have made beautiful bulletin boards, Helping Hands of Peace Banners, and signed pledges for peace.

"She is truly an ambassador in the movement to make our schools safer.  In this manner, she is definitely a LifeChanger," said Bremner.

For as long as I’ve known Stephanie, she has been a very dedicated individual. She is helping so many kids that need a little extra help.....nothing is more important than our kids! I’m impressed that she took the initiative with some of these school safety programs.....but not surprised- that’s just who she is. Congratulations on being nominated!

Stephanie you are doing very important work. School safety and student mental health are giant problems now. The programs you are involved in are necessary. Your volunteering will make your school a better place for all the students and staff.

I am so proud to have Stephanie as my daughter. She genuinely cares about children and works diligently in a special school with at risk children. Stephanie inspires them to want to excel and achieve. Without positive role models, these kids will fall through the. cracks . Stephanie works in the "Promise Program" to give students a 2nd chance to remain in school. She is an amazing person!!
