"Girl Power" Assembly
On Thursday, February 1, we had our first ever "Girl Power" assembly. The purpose of the assembly was to promote self-image, confidence, strength and leadership. Almost all of our speakers did an excellent job with the message of empowerment. Unfortunately, one speaker used language that was not appropriate for our students and the overall positive message that was being relayed by the other speakers may have been lost.
I did speak with all the girls today after our week in review and addressed yesterday's assembly. I relayed to them that the purpose of the meeting had nothing to do with boys or with inappropriate language. I apologized to them and told them why I was so disappointed with the speaker's comments.
I just wanted to take the time and let everyone know that I am sorry for how the one speaker spoke in the assembly and I assure you that it will not happen again. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the front office and ask to speak with me directly - 732-269-2909.
Thank you for your time.
Mr. Prima
