Warrior Buddies are celebrating Inclusion week during March 3-8. During this time students are aiming to make others feel included despite differences.

During this week MCHS and Warrior Buddies will participate in this worldwide holiday making sure that students of all differences feel included within their school.

Next week students will be able to participate in writing positive notes, a Goose chase scavenger hunt and a photo shoot on Friday.

“Inclusion week is actually a national week,” Special Educator Rachel Hanson says, “It’s called Spread the word. It was originally Spread the Word to End the Word, meaning end the word retardation, because it’s not a word we use anymore.”

By using this week to eliminate discriminating words, teachers, staff and students will participate in making everyone in school feel included. Another way we include students here at MCHS is through Warrior Buddies.

“Warrior Buddies is a club where we aim to take students from our adjusted learning program and have them have opportunities to interact with other students in the school who are not in the adjusted learning program,” Hanson says.

This club helps bring confidence to students involved while having fun.

Seniors Christian Scaccia and Phoebe Pace both expressed that this club has been a fun and grateful opportunity for them.

Students are encouraged to help spread inclusivity not only this week but throughout the school years.
