Frey plans to offer a more constructive alternative to handling student discipline cases at Eau Gallie High School. Through her volunteer efforts and those of a group of concerned teachers, the "Learning Alternative Appropriate Behaviors for Life (LAAB)" program will add a social skills learning component to the school's In School Suspension (ISS) program. The LAAB for Life program will enhance student learning by teaching the social skills needed to be successful in a school setting. Life lessons in positive communication, understanding diversity, exemplifying cultural and gender sensitivity, developing positive coping skills and handling conflict resolution will be shared with in school suspension students. Students will learn these much needed life skills through exposure to literature, lectures, role-play, and visual and performing arts. Frey's goal is to create a more positive school environment for students and staff, which is more conducive to overall student learning. Frey lives in Palm Bay.
