The Problem

There is an empidemic of students being mean to each other in my school district. The root of this unkindness is misunderstanding and prejudgment.

Plan of Action

Our plan of action is to create a social climate change starting at a junior high level. We are going to d this by creating a program in which the entire seventh grade takes a school day in order to attend seminars, discussions, and hands on activities during this school day in order to promote acceptance and understanding. This festival will be put together by a primarily student lead group of high schoolers. This festival of sorts will be accompanied with monthly kindness challenges for both junior high and high schoolers; these challenges include picking up trash, random compliment month and more.
