Today, October 29, Roosevelt students attended an environment assembly- The Illusion Maker. Combined with the excitement of magic, students learned about reusing, recycling, and reducing.
Roosevelt students experienced the power of magic during an assembly - “Abracabully”. This workshop built upon the I.C.A.R.E. acronym which stands for Individual, Community, Attitude, Respect, and Empathy. While weaving this acronym throughout the program, students discovered:
The difference between telling and tattling
What is a bystander?
How to become an “upstander”
Who to turn to when they have a problem
