It’s Day 2 Of Anti-Racism And Inclusivity Week!
Get ready for some fun and thought-provoking activities this week!
Stevenson’s second annual Anti-Racism and Inclusivity Week, running this entire week, will be focused on the theme of “Allyship,” which is integral to our community’s collective commitment to equity, access and inclusivity. To be an ally requires that a person not simply notice an injustice, but also take action by bringing attention to the injustice and requesting that it be corrected.
Here are the ARIW activities for today during the lunch hours:
- Dance Pioneers Allyship Trivia Hour: Hosted by Mélange Dance Company in the Wood Commons.
- Hoola Hoop for Cultural Competency: Hosted by Latino Hispanic Student Association in the Wood Commons.
Here are tomorrow’s highlights:
- Speakers Dr. Laura P. Minero (Keynote) and Mr. Israel Starck
For a full schedule of events, including times and locations, please visit the Anti-Racism and Inclusivity page on the Stevenson website.
Want To Attend Tomorrow’s Anti-Racism And Inclusivity Week Keynote Speech? You Need A Permission Slip
As a reminder, tomorrow’s keynote speaker for Anti-Racism and Inclusivity Week is Dr. Laura Minero, who earned her PhD in Counseling Psychology and has dedicated her life-affirming work to revolutionizing systems that adversely impact undocumented, queer, trans, and communities of color.
Minero’s session is scheduled for second and third periods in the West Auditorium and is titled: “2-SQT Latinx Communities: Why Intersectionality Matters.”
Students will need to turn in this permission slip in order to attend. The permissions slips may be dropped off at Room 2115B. Students can also get a permission slip from their sponsors or Dr. LeViis Haney to attend the event.

Get A Comfy Animal Welfare T-Shirt; Support Our Furry Friends!
Back by popular demand, Stevenson’s Animal Welfare Club is offering another opportunity to help support our furry friends while purchasing the most comfortable t-shirt ever!
This year, the club has chosen to use the proceeds from its t-shirt sales to support Humane Society International. Humane Society International, “works around the globe to promote the human-animal bond, rescue and protect dogs and cats, improve farm animal welfare, protect wildlife, promote animal-free testing and research, respond to natural disasters and confront cruelty to animals in all of its forms. Active on nearly every continent, HSI is one of the few international animal protection organizations working to protect all animals—including animals in laboratories, farm animals, companion animals and wildlife.”
Please join the Animal Welfare Club in supporting this cause by purchasing a t-shirt through the school store. In order to get the t-shirts back before the year ends the option to purchase shirts will close on Monday, so don’t delay. Shirt orders will be ready for pick up in May (date to be determined) and all individuals who order will be notified in advance regarding the exact date for pick-up.
