As part of our Social Studies curriculum, PS 154 instituted a school-wide initiative several years ago called the Caring School Community program. This program focuses on opening communication about many different social topics such as kindness to classmates, exclusion on the playground and bullying. We also will be discussing topics that involve philanthropy (Penny Harvest), environmental issues (Earth Day) and cultural diversity.
Last week we met with our buddy class, class 5-306, for the first time. We will be participating in many projects together. Our first meeting involved kicking off the Caring School Community parade. Each class was asked to create a banner highlighting one of the several social commitments to our school. Our classes were assigned "We promise to take care of our school and everything in it."
