Lunchtime looked a little different for Cape Elizabeth Middle School students on Tuesday, October 27! The Civil Rights Team hosted Mix It Up At Lunch Day, an event that encourages students to question, challenge, and cross social boundaries by talking to someone new at lunch. Students sat at tables arranged by birth month, had fun conversations ("Would you rather" question cards helped get the ball rolling) and hopefully came away with a new connection.
The CEMS Civil Rights Team works to challenge stereotypes and build connections among students, and Mix It Up At Lunch was a great way to support that goal.
Mix It Up At Lunch is a national campaign organized by Teaching Tolerance. More than 6,000 schools across the U.S. participated in Mix It Up At Lunch on the same day!
