MVHS - Mix It Up Day

National Tolerance Day, recognized on the school level as Mix-it-Up Day, is a time to recognize and work to dissolve social barriers. For many students, school is an exercise in exclusion. The Mix-it-Up program works to improve inter-group relations by encouraging students to identify and challenge social boundaries and make new friends.

This year, MVHS joined 4 million students in 9,000 schools in asking students to step out of their comfort zones and meet new people. We had several activities planned November 13. These included a poetry contest, food and decorations from countries around the world, a video featuring MVHS students about diversity, and the signing of the MVHS pledge to “tear down the walls and build up the bridges.”

1st place winner of the poetry contest was Hayley Stiles, 2nd place was Kelsey Bohlmann, and 3rd place was Tabitha Rabe. Mr. and Ms. Diversity (chosen by their peers for displaying kindness and friendship to all) was Kevin Whitehead and Alyssa Munning.
