Be the Difference Day
On Tuesday, October 28, all sophomores will participate in our annual Be the Difference Day experience. This is a powerful, high-energy program in which students, alongside adult volunteers, engage in a series of experiential learning activities. The goals of the program are to foster connection, strengthen personal empowerment and self-acceptance, shift negative peer pressure into positive peer support, and eliminate the acceptability of bullying, violence, and all forms of stigma. Ultimately, the program is designed to unite members of our school and community in carrying forward a message of respect and care for all.
Through storytelling by Be the Difference Day presenters, small-group discussions, and large-group interactive activities, students and adult volunteers discover how much we share in common as human beings, rather than focusing on what sets us apart.
While students will miss a traditional day of classes, this day is dedicated to building connections, strengthening our school community, and encouraging personal growth. It is always a powerful and transformative experience.
If you have any questions about Be the Difference Day, please feel free to contact your student's counselor.
