The training program included a number of activities to get students
thinking, including this "gift bag" simulation, which demonstrated
how you can't judge what's on the inside simply by looking at the
outside. |

Building Community
A Training Program for Students, Staff, and Parents
January 2007
The
Mills Lawn School PTO partnered with the National Conference
for Community & Justice to provide a series of training programs for
students, staff, and parents in January
2007. The training programs focused on
recognizing and appreciating our differences as well as our similarities
and were offered to help create an environment of respect,
free from
bullying and cliques.
The National
Conference for Community and Justice, founded in 1927 as the Conference of
Christians and Jews, is a human relations organization dedicated to
fighting bias, bigotry and racism in
America.
NCCJ promotes understanding and respect among all races, religions and
cultures through advocacy, conflict resolution and education.
The Mills Lawn PTO
recognizes that teachers and staff have already done so much to help
eradicate bullying and cliques at school and continue to do amazing work
in this area. The PTO sought to be a part of this
effort, as well, and dedicated its funds this year to contribute to
this initiative.
