๐ฃ Whatโs happening: RHS staff and Inclusion & Belonging Advisory Group members Mrs. Nicole Wohlrab and Mrs. Gina Altiero organized an Open Mic Session to celebrate Inclusive Schools Week.
๐ค Every voice matters! Held during lunch in the RHS Media Center, students and staff were invited to perform an original work (poem, short story, comedy routine, song), recite a poem or short story, share a personal reflection, showcase a piece of artwork, present with a friend or group, or listen and enjoy.
What theyโre saying: โ"Fifty individuals attended this exciting event, making it a memorable experience as students and staff shared a variety of pieces. Celebrating every voice in our community is essential, and the event was met with many positive comments and reflections." - Mrs. Altiero
"It was incredibly inspiring to hear students share their perspectives at the open mic event. The atmosphere of respect and camaraderie among participants made it a truly special experience. We hope to recreate this type of event in the future, as it provides a valuable platform for self-expression and connection within our community." -Mrs. Wohlrab
๐ฌWhatโs next: To continue celebrating Inclusive Schools Week at RHS, the Best Buddies Club is hosting a screening of the new film Out of My Mind during lunch today and tomorrow. ๐ฟ
