Holyoke Community Message October 14, 2016

Dear Families, Partners, and Colleagues,

I would like to thank Holyoke emergency personnel for their support of Holyoke

Public Schools. They have been instrumental in their guidance to our district crisis

team, and have been helpful in planning for potential emergency situations.

We are grateful to the Holyoke Police Department for their generous donation of $1,000 to Holyoke High School towards the production of this year’s musical, Sister Act. The monies were raised by the department, as a result of a 5K race that they sponsored in May.

The Holyoke Police Department presented the check to members of the cast of last year’s musical (Shrek) on Tuesday (above). The officers who organized the event were Captain Matt Moriarty, Detective Jared Hamel, Officer Steve Norton, Officer Baron Maruca and Officer Brian Summers.

We appreciate the Holyoke Police Department’s generous donation and

continued partnership! This speaks volumes about their commitment to our

schools and students.

We are honored to have so many fruitful relationships with partners in the city of

Holyoke and look forward to continued growth, support, collaboration and

resource sharing.

Finally, I ask that our entire community wear purple on Thursday, October 20th as the Holyoke Public Schools takes a stance

against bullying. Let us celebrate the culture of inclusivity and respect for all that exists throughout our schools.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Sincerely,

Steve

Transforming Education for Social Justice:

Creating Equity, Strengthening Community, Engaging Identity

Saturday, October 15th, 2016

8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Kittredge Center, Holyoke Community College

Come lend your ears, voice, and heart to important discussions about ways we can create more equity in our region.

The Transforming Education for Social Justice Conference (#TE4SJ) is a first annual regional conference that brings

together people in Western Massachusetts who are interested in social justice and equity in K-12 schools, early

childhood classrooms, and the surrounding communities.

We have great workshops lined up and a powerful keynote address by Pa'Lante: Holyoke High School's

Restorative Justice Peer Leaders. The Restorative Justice movement in schools is continuing to expand as laws

and policies mandate that schools find alternative approaches to exclusionary discipline. At Holyoke High School,

young people have created a model program that seeks to engage youth and adults in practices such as

community building, support, and accountability circles. Through their work with circle practice, they are challenging

traditional paradigms of power that often leave youth voice out of the decision-making process around discipline and

whole-school climate and culture.Register here.CONNECT W

Estimadas familias, socios y colegas: Quiero agradecer el personal de la emergencia de Holyoke por su apoyo en las Escuelas Públicas de Holyoke. Ellos han sido instrumental en su guía para nuestro grupo de crisis y han sido de gran ayuda en planificar para situaciones de emergencia potencial.

Estamos muy agradecidos al Departamento do Policía de Holyoke por su donación generosa de $1,000.00 a la Escuela Secundaria de Holyoke – Holyoke High, haci a la producción musical de este año, Sister Act. El Dinero fue recaudado por el departamento, al resultado de una carrera de 5 quilometros que auspiciaron en mayo.

El Departamento de Policía de Holyoke presentó el cheque a los miembros que actuaron en el musical (Shrek) del año pasado (arriba).

Transformando la Educación para la Justicia Social:

Creando Equidad, Fortaleciendo la Comunidad, Explorando Identidad

Sábado, 15 de octubre del 2016

8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Kittredge Center, Holyoke Community College

Vengan a participar de discusiones importantes acerca de las maneras que podemos crear más equidad en nuestra región. La Conferencia “Transformación de la Educación para la Justicia Social” (#TE4SJ) es la primera Conferencia Regional anual que reúne a personas en el oeste de Massachusetts que están interesados en la justicia social y la equidad en escuelas de grados K-12, educación temprana y comunidades aledañas.

El movimiento de Justicia Restaurativa en las escuelas continúa expandiéndose a medida que las leyes y políticas continúan demandando de que las escuelas encuentren enfoques alternativos a la disciplina excluyente. En la Holyoke High School, los jóvenes han creado un programa modelo que busca involucrar a jóvenes y adultos en prácticas como la construcción de la comunidad, apoyo y círculos de rendición de cuentas. A través de su trabajo con la práctica de los círculo se transforman paradigmas tradicionales difíciles que a menudo dejan las voces de los jóvenes fuera del proceso de tomar decisiones en torno a la disciplina y el clima y la cultura de

toda la escuela. Regístrese aquí
