Count Me In

Our school does a school wide read aloud at the beginning of the school year as a community builder.  Teachers do activities with the students about the book and we do school wide activities related to the story. This year, the staff and students at Howe Middle are reading "Count Me In" by Varsha Bajaj.  The story explores what happens when students come together to reject racism.  Throughout the story, students find their voice and realize the impact they can have when they support each other. 

Our staff and students have been discussing what it looks like when we belong to the school community and what it means to Be A Bulldog.  Today, they took to the sidewalks to share their messages of encouragement.  We all are Bulldogs.  We belong here.  Count us in!
