- Awkward Pause performed at North Farmington High School on Wednesday. NFH students engaged in a day of learning and dialogue around Social Justice.
- Calvin Terrell was the feature presenter for the day at North Farmington.
- Novi Meadows' Mix It Up day was held on Thursday during lunches. Mix It Up is an opportunity for students to sit at lunch tables with students they would not normally sit with and engage in guided conversation. The goal is to help break down barriers that may exist between students. School staff members join in and dialogue with students.
- Parents of African American Students in Novi (PAASN) hosts a free Saturday Math Tutoring at Orchard Hills Elementary. Any student is welcomed and encouraged to attend.
