North Heights Junior High will hold its annual Uniquely You Day on Tuesday, October 27. “We all remember those awkward days of walking into the school cafeteria trying to decide who to sit with,” said Principal Theresa Cowling. “You feel out of place and isolated.”
Uniquely You Day is designed to encourage students to identify and cross social and cultural boundaries. Understanding that the cafeteria is the place where divisions are most clearly drawn, the staff will use creative seating arrangements and questions to allow students to get to know each other while they eat lunch. The objective is to allow the students to learn more about each other and develop a mutual respect.
On Uniquely You Day, students will start the day at 7:50AM by watching three student-produced videos on celebrating the uniqueness of each individual in their school. Students will wear Uniquely You t-shirts that were created in Art class during the weeks leading up to the Uniquely You Day.
Lunch sessions will begin during “A” lunch – 10:45AM and end at 12:30PM after “C” lunch.
