🤝 MONDAY MATTERS: CHOOSE UNITY!
We kicked off our first Monday Matters assembly of the year with a challenge for every Rebel: Choose UNITY.
📣 The JV Cheer Squad got us started with a rousing, unifying cheer—because what better way to kick off a lesson on unity than by getting everyone in the room cheering together?!
Then, Peer Helpers Collier Preskitt and Sanvi Singh introduced our first-quarter core value and put unity to the test! 🪢👀
Four groups. Blindfolds on. One rope. One goal. Students had to communicate, listen, trust, and work together to create shapes and letters they couldn’t even see!
Then, Dr. Mann gave us three reminders:
1️⃣ Unity begins with respect.
2️⃣ Look for common ground.
3️⃣ Avoid assumptions. Build common ground.
And the best way to build common ground? Ask questions. Listen. Understand.
Dr. Mann challenged students to learn one another’s history, heroes, heartbreaks, and hopes, and he shared some of his own with us.
Because unity doesn’t mean we’re all the same. It means we take the time to see, hear, and understand one another.
So this quarter, we’re making a choice:
CHOOSE UNITY. 🤝
BUILD COMMON GROUND.
BE THE REASON WE’RE STRONGER TOGETHER.
