MWHS celebrated Capabilities Week, centered on the promise to accept, respect, and include people of ALL abilities. The week was filled with daily events designed to encourage students and staff to view each other from different perspectives.
Activities included “Walk in Our Shoes,” which featured simulations highlighting the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. Other events focused on relationship building such as the classic, “Rock, Paper, Scissors” and “Crusaders Choose Love,” where students and staff wore purple as a sign of unity.
During lunch periods, a curated section by the library featured diverse authors and a kindness clothespin activity where students wrote kind and encouraging notes to pin on their peers.
Author and motivational speaker James McLeod, also known as "That Vitiligo Guy," shared his personal story, focusing on how he overcame bullying and learned to embrace his unique appearance.
Students and staff alike had the opportunity to learn more about themselves and deepen their understanding of the people who make up their community through these meaningful events.
