Dear Parents/Guardians:
The NYC Department of Education has designated February 14-18 as Respect For All Week in all NYC public schools. During this week, schools will have opportunities to highlight and build upon ongoing diversity programs and curriculum-based instruction. Schools will also have opportunities to embark upon new initiatives that promote respect for diversity and engage students in meaningful lessons and/or other activities that focus on preventing bias-based harassment, intimidation and/or bullying.
For the week of February 14th, we have selected the following activities:
o Virtues Poster contest winner will be announced on Monday, February 14, 2011
o 2/14 - 100th Day of School Activities (in every classroom) in connection with RFA
o Posters displaying Respect and other virtues are displayed throughout the school
o All Week - Classroom lessons discussing stereotyping, bias and tolerance
o Special Assembly to discuss Tolerance and Respect on 2/15 and 2/16 during recess periods with Social Worker Neil Goldstein

o “Mix it Up” School Dance on 2/15/11 with prizes given for best ethnic costume. Special song with the theme of Tolerance will be played: “People are People” by DePeche Mode.
o Classroom activities/games with “Respect for All” theme include vocabulary lessons, role playing, Cross Cultural Scavenger Hunt, films such as, “The Home Run,” “Growing Up” and “The Sound I Saw.” Student Advisory discussions will revolve around stereotyping, bias, etc.
o 2/17/2011 – Student and Staff Talent Show, celebrating our student’s individual talents – 6 PM
