Coming Together

At MDJH we acknowledge and appreciate the many diverse cultures and ethnicities in our school. Coming Together is a student-driven club that plans to help students coming from different ethnic backgrounds integrate into the school community, as well as share and learn each other’s cultures. The club is open to all students from grades 7-9. Students will be able to speak their native language and socialize with others. Students who are learning English as a second language can join the group and receive peer tutoring. This group can help students build a greater understanding of inclusivity, multiculturalism, and diversity. The group will meet every day 7 in the art room (room 227) starting on October 17th. The meeting shall take place during lunch hours. If you have any questions, concerns, or are looking to join this group please contact Alpita Patro (apatro_s@nlesd.ca).
