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.
