Kelly Elementary students completed the pledge as part of their Compassion Day Activity.
Compassion Day: Kelly Elementary implemented their annual Compassion Day. All students experienced rotations and activities aimed at helping them understand what it may be like to experience a disability. Stations included experience with physical disabilities, communication with an AAC device scavenger hunt, a focus station to experience ADD/ADHD, and a zones of regulation station. Student participation in the stations was followed up with in-class discussion. (10/6/23)
For their 2nd activity, the No Place for Hate team at Kelly has decided to focus on positive experiences during recess, on the playground, and during unstructured times. The activity included the review of school expectations and a collaborative activity focused on the power we all have in creating a culture of inclusivity and belonging for every student.
For their 3rd activity, the No Place for Hate team at Kelly responded to an area of student concern around exclusion through an activity that poses questions to students that helps groups discover common interests from peers that are not in the same friend groups. Groups then reflected on the activity and opportunities for greater inclusivity on campus among fellow students.
