Inclusive Schools Week is celebrated annually around the country. This year we will be participating in Inclusive Schools Week from December 3-7. This entire week is to celebrate and promote acceptance and inclusion of the diverse population we have at Oak Hill. We also hope this week will encourage conversations about how we can be more accepting and appreciative of those who are different from us. The “Kaleidoscope of Friends” theme will reflect the idea of different colors, patterns, and shapes working together to make a beautiful picture. Each day of the Inclusion Week, students and staff are encouraged to wear the various colors listed below. Each color represents a word that will be discussed and linked to inclusion at Oak Hill. The celebration of Inclusive Schools Week will create a fundamental commitment to relationships among staff, students and the community of Oak Hill. #ISW2018 #allinOHES
Monday: Wear Red for Respect
We respect and support our fellow classmates and recognize that individual differences are what make us special.
Tuesday: Wear Green for Gifts
Friendship is a gift we give to one another. We all have gifts and special talents to share.
Wednesday: Wear Blue for Belonging
“Kaleidoscope comes from two Greek words: kalos, meaning “beautiful,” and eidos, “shape.” Education takes on a beautiful shape when all children belong and are valued as contributing members of the school community.” (Inclusive Schools Celebration Guide)
Thursday: Wear Purple for Positivity
At Oak Hill we notice and embrace each other's abilities. We create a joyful school when we are positive with one another.
Friday: Wear Oak Hill Spirit Wear
While we may all have different OHES spirit wear, we are all part of the same team at Oak Hill! We are a diverse community and that makes our school absolutely wonderful and unique! We work together to create a climate of inclusiveness and kindness. We are all linked together and connected in our purpose to make Oak Hill an amazing school!
