Miss Hensel and Miss Haese's classes at Middle Smithfield Elementary celebrated Unity Day, a signature event of October's National Bullying Prevention Month. This event encourages individuals to wear orange and unite for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion to send a visible message that no child should ever experience bullying.
The mission of the Colonial IU 20 Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (EIB) committee is to provide positive, safe, equitable and inclusive learning environments. The EIB committee seeks to utilize and advocate for a culturally-responsive approach in which diverse strengths and identities are valued, thereby creating a community of belonging.
