Hello Peter Hobart Community,

This week is Black Lives Matter Week of Action. The goal of this week is to challenge structural and systemic racism while centering the lives of black students inside and outside of the classroom. 

Black Lives Matter was created to lift different ideas or principles from the Black community.  Ideas like Restorative Justice (opportunities to repair or heal from harm), Empathy (thinking about how other people might feel), and Loving Engagement (trying to be fair, peaceful, and taking action to make the world a better place).

Here at Peter Hobart two of our students, Da'Riyah Patton-Gray and Priscillia Kanama; took action and spoke to the whole student body educating them on this important week. They also went further and will be starting a Black History and Black Excellence club at the school. We are so proud and want to recognize them for understanding the importance of organizing and engaging the student body around this wonderful cause.
