On November 13th the Teen Leadership class promoted the national Mix It Up at Lunch Day. Students were encouraged to sit with different people and make new friends. The class handed out stickers to anyone who participated. Everyone had a good time and may have even met some new kids too!

Why Mix It Up?

• 70% of students named the cafeteria as the school setting where social boundaries are most clearly drawn.
• More than half of students describe their schools as "quick to put people into categories."
• 40% of students admitted that they had rejected someone from another group.
• Mix It Up at Lunch Day encourages people to cross lines and meet new people.
• You care, you're someone who can change the school and bring down the walls! *
