|
In the effort to promote tolerance, togetherness and respect, Jackson Liberty will be promoting a theme for each of the five days. Additionally, there will be various class discussions, activities, and challenges based on positivity, kindness, appreciation, tolerance, and self-worth. We hope that as the week unfolds, we all make efforts to be more respectful and tolerant towards others with our actions and with our words. |
