Responses to Spark

 

This has improved the whole building climate, especially for minority students. In the past couple years I have seen some minority students really grow and develop because they have been in an environment that has been supportive of them.

 

Having volunteers come in also has empowered our staff to address this issue building wide. When they see harassment or racism occurring they can use this curriculum as a reminder to students on what to do to fight it.

 

There was a nice mixture of discussion, video, and activities.  There is a continual need for diversity education for all.  This is a wonderful program for the students in our district.  Thank you! 

 

My wish is that you come more times throughout the school year and do more activities.  This discussion should continue to be held, especially among our youth. 

 

The program was very well organized.  The message was clear and age appropriate for my 4th grade class.  Thank you!  Keep up the excellent work!

 

The amount of participatory activities you had was great!  It helps keep the kids attention.

 

Before I was in a Catholic school, not very diverse, but moved to John Adams and it was very diverse and it helped me to work with more people. ~12th grade student
