Mix It Up at Lunch Day

Fri, Oct 18, 2019

We will have a “Mix It Up’ Lunch Day on Tuesday, October 22, where students will mix it up with other students from different grades during their lunch time.


Students consistently identify the cafeteria as a place in their school where divisions are clearly and harshly drawn. Ask students to move out of their comfort zones and connect with someone new over lunch. It’s a simple act with profound implications and we encourage educators to include this in year-round efforts to promote healthy, welcoming school environments. Studies have shown that interactions across group lines can help reduce prejudice. When students interact with those who are different from them, biases and misperceptions can fall away.
