Dear Parent/Guardian,
Mark Twain Middle School (Twain MS) believes that having a school community where your child feels safe and respected is an important foundation to their academic success. That is why Twain MS will be participating in No Place for Hate®, a national program supporting schools in their commitment to celebrating diversity, promoting respect for differences and challenging bias and bullying at all levels.
Developed by the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) – a leading civil rights organization that has worked for over a century to “secure justice and fair treatment to all” – No Place for Hate® will help us incorporate new anti-bias and bullying prevention resources into our existing programs in order to have one consistent message of inclusivity.
You and your child can help support our No Place for Hate® program in a number of ways:
- Join our No Place for Hate® Committee to help oversee the program, assess school climate, and plan or volunteer at No Place for Hate® events!
- Along with your child, sign the No Place for Hate® Pledge to commit to challenging bias and bullying!
- Practice No Place for Hate® at home! For family resources on challenging bullying and bias, visit https://www.adl.org/education-and-resources/resources-for-educators-parents-families.
To learn more or to get involved with No Place for Hate® join us at a PTA Meeting on Thursday, September 26 at 7:00 pm. You can also contact Melissa Montgomery, Assistant Principal at MLMontgomery@fcps.edu. With your help, we will make our school community a safe and welcoming space for all.
Sincerely,
Charles Miller
Principal
