Walking a Mile in Their Shoes This year, our JCSD team is working to build a stronger culture of empathy and compassion among teachers, staff and students. You may . notice some of us wearing district shoe laces as a reminder to “walk a mile in each other’s shoes.” In addition to teacher/staff training, we are launching an empathy program for middle and high school students called Challenge Day. Challenge Day is a powerful, nationally- , recognized program that brings students together with adult facilitators in a safe environment to have heartfelt conversations about cliques, gossip, rumoys, negative judgments^ teasing, harassment,. isolation, stereotypes, intolerance, racism, sexism, bullying, violence, homophobia, hopelessness, apathy and more. Those who attended the first challenge day program had great things to say. “I had the honor o f participating in Challenge Day with Madras High School students last week and it changed m y life. Over 100 high school students o f all ages and 25 adults, exploring the importance o f acceptance and respecting one another was emotional, powerful and a whole lot o f fun. ” Time to Start Thinking About This month, juniors and seniors from Madras High School will learn about college opportunities that lie ahead with a series of visits from two and four-year college representatives along with a college fair to be held at the Redmond Fair Grounds.
