Request for Items for the Restorative Justice Office From Coach C.
"It is time to officially set-up a restorative justice office! The RJ office will be located in the hallway near the elevator, which is past the TK room on the 1st Floor. I would love to fill the space with RJ/Social Justice/Hope posters, soft sitting areas (pillows, beanbag chairs, soft chairs, etc.) in order to create a warm and inviting space so kids feel comfortable when they meet with me. If you have any items that you aren't 'using that you would be willing to donate to the RJ office, please let me know.You can email me at deborah.cuny@ousd.org. Thanks!"
