The Lower School recently participated in National Mix It Up At Lunch Day. Created by the Teaching Tolerance Organization, the day is a call to students of all grades to sit next to someone new in the cafeteria.
The cafeteria is a great place to start breaking barriers and show students how to meet new people, build common ground and learn new social skills. In appreciating the strengths of diversity and collaborating with others they are developing 21st-century skills and nurtures an inclusive and welcoming school community.
Our students in Grades 1-5 not only switched up their seats but took part in games such as “Reporter: Report on Something New,” “2 Truths and a Lie,” “Compliment Tag,” and other conversation starters.
