Inspired by the People of Color Conference (POCC) and by Upper School students who participated in the Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC), the Middle School MOSAIC program (Moving On Social And Individual Change) was created in 2006. The goal of MOSAIC is to help create a positive climate within the school by providing a safe environment for students to explore, experiment and embrace differences. Each year, the eighth grade focuses on a different theme; past areas of concentration have included race, self-identity, gender and effective forms of communication, community and cyber citizenship.
This year’s program will have its first retreat on Friday, September 21.
