John Dewey Academy of Learning * April 1- 5, 2019 *
Stand for the Silent Assembly | April 9 @9:45AM | Neville Public Museum
We are very fortunate to be participating in an assembly next week titled Stand for the Silent. Please see below for information from the organization's website:
"Stand for the Silent was started in 2010 by a group of high school students in Oklahoma City, OK, after they heard the tragic story of how Kirk and Laura Smalley lost their son, Ty Field- Smalley, to persistent bullying – at eleven years-old, Ty took his own life after being suspended from school for retaliating against a bully that had been bullying him for over two years.
Through an engaging, factual, and emotional presentation, Kirk Smalley, along with the help of student leaders, presents his inspirational story, and students are shown first-hand the life and death consequences of bullying. Through this unique approach, lives are changed for the better. Students, some for the first time, develop an empathetic awareness through education and understanding."
Since May 2010, Kirk and Laura Smalley have traveled to more than 1,250 schools and have spoken with more than 1.3 million kids!
Students will travel with staff to the Neville Museum by city bus. Students who drive may drive themselves, but may not take other students. We invite all parents to join us as well. Please contact Ms. Jen if you have questions.
Bellin Run
Are you interested in training for the Bellin Run, a 10K race to be held on June 8th, as part of a JDAL team? Ms. Melissa will be the coach and will provide a training schedule. If you are interested, please see her ASAP to get the correct forms, which will need to be on file before you join us for practices. Training will start Monday, April 1. Interested students must sign up and have forms on file by Wednesday, April 3. Practice will start at 3pm each day in order to be done around regular dismissal times. Students must have approval from their advisor to be dismissed early in order to participate in practices. As we go closer to the race, practices will run longer to accommodate further distances needed for training.
