MIDDLE SCHOOL CELELBRATES DIVERSITY DAY
Millstone Township Middle School’s 8th Grade Celebrating Diversity Day
The eighth grade students of Millstone Township Middle school celebrated the school’s annual Diversity Day on Friday, May 11th. Students had the opportunity to hear individuals from all over the globe discuss their experiences growing up in a foreign land. Students rotated in groups to hear from four parent speakers: Mr. Bavarsky from the Soviet Union, Mrs. Jones from Jamaica, Mrs. DiGuglielmo from Poland and Mrs. Mullery from the ARC of Monmouth County who spoke to the students about people with special needs. All the speakers from other countries discussed the poverty and oppression they witnessed growing up in another country, what school was like, as well as their families and responsibilities when they were children.
In addition, the students got to attend two live multimedia performances by Living Voices, a drama organization that utilizes interactive drama to explore the issues of prejudice, bullying and social justice. The first performance was based upon African American’s struggle for Civil Rights in Mississippi during the 1950’s and 1960’s. The second performance was based on the prejudice involved in the World War II interment of Japanese Americans. The Millstone Middle School PTSA graciously and generously subsidized these performances. Diversity Day was organized by the 8th grade teachers.
