Get Involved with Respect and Wellness Week Activities

This whole week, The School Climate Team is running several fun activities and contests AND they encourage all students and staff to get involved.  The Team would also like to thank everyone in advance for their participation in RESPECT & Wellness Week.  They hope the message of making good decisions and caring for one another lasts throughout the year.  Remember we are Millville High School; Home of the Thunderbolts.

THIS WEEK AT THE SENIOR HIGH:

EARN YOUR RED WINGS.  When you do something kind for someone this week in school, not only will you feel better about helping someone but you also might earn some RED WINGS from a staff member.  Make sure to turn in your RED WINGS to one of the 4 wing boxes.  A RED WING will be pulled each day for a prize.  

SEE IT. STOP IT. CONTESTS.  Get started on your video and/or short story, rap, poem about standing up to bullying.  Entries are to be submitted to Mrs. Pfeiffer’s office.  The winner of each contest will be decided on Friday. For information, stop by the Guidance Office or check out the fliers in the display case.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT PROMOTION.  Have you done something nice for someone lately?  Well, even if you haven’t, now could be the time to start.  We are sponsoring a “Caught in the Act” promotion for the remainder of the week.  If you are caught in the act of doing something kind for another person, you could be rewarded with a FREE Cookie Coupon.  Along with all of our staff, we may have some special guests in the building with coupons too, so you never know who will be watching.  Do something nice today!

DO SOMETHING KIND FOR SOMEONE.  A powerful quote to consider for Respect & Wellness week is by Desmond Tutu, a famous anti-apartheid activist in South Africa.  He stated, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”  Today in school, do something kind for someone you usually might not interact with.
