No Place for Hate Pledge
No Place for Hate Pledge
At CHMS, the pledge was signed during advisory classes. Teachers introduced the pledge and provided an opportunity for students to sign it. Namely, teachers shared that CHMS has organized the pledge because each student is important and their voices are powerful.
Activity One:
Activity One:
CHMS students celebrated kindness week by watching two short videos to introduce The Great Kindness Challenge. The second video showed how one group of individuals, our first responders (firefighters, police officers, paramedics), often go above and beyond to show kindness. The class will then discuss how acts of kindness should happen in and outside your circle of friends; you should treat everyone with kindness and respect regardless of who they are. Students will write thank you notes to first responders within their notes they will state the reason that they appreciate what they do for the community and write about how they have positively impacted their lives or give a second example of why they appreciate their profession. After the students completed the notes, the class reflected on empathy for others in a class discussion.

Activity Two:
For their second activity, CHMS students will watch an inspiring video showing how a single act of kindness can make a big impact. Afterward, students will have the chance to spread kindness themselves by completing a kindness compliment sheet. Students will write one kind statement on the sheet and then rotate it with students five times, allowing other students to fill in all of the bubbles with thoughtful compliments. Students will collect the sheets and review them to ensure that all of the messages are positive. Students will return the compliment sheets to teachers and they will be distributed to students on Friday.
Activity Three:
Activity Three:
For their final activity, the No Place for Hate Committee focused on responding to put downs on campus by discussing common links between cliques, stereotypes, and bias and then discussing how these result in increased harassment. The activity then continued by discussing the importance of Speaking up and interrupting when bias occurs using Interrupt Pocket Cards.
