Day Without Hate Resources

During Day Without Hate, our students created a video to help show who we are here at Everitt. The video demonstrates the struggles people face and how we differ from those around us. We completed an activity called the "I Am" wall to show these individual characteristics, and have posted the wall in the main hallway for everyone to see. We are Everitt, and this is us! Song in the video is "This is Me" from the movie The Greatest Showman.
