Inclusion Week 2024, March 11-15

March 11-15, Mason Public Schools will host our first ever, district- wide Inclusion Week! Our buildings, teachers, staff, students, and all visitors are encouraged to take part in five days of learning, understanding, compassion, outreach and appreciation for one another’s differences.

Inclusion Week was developed by the MPS Diversity Committee and is modeled after similar events in school districts across the state and country.

Each day of the week has a theme, word and associated activities to take place in all of the MPS buildings. 

  • Monday theme and word of the day: Self-Acceptance
    • Self-acceptance is learning to love yourself, inside and out. It's about letting go of the things you can't change and appreciating what makes you unique
    • Jersey Day- Be part of a team.
  • Tuesday theme and word of the day: Diversity
    • Diversity is when people from all different backgrounds come together.
    • Pajama Day- Come as you are, everyone is accepted.
  • Wednesday theme and word of the day: Empathy
    • Empathy can help us to be kind and be better friends and classmates.
    • Superhero Day- Showcase your individual super powers.
  • Thursday theme and word of the day: Inclusion

  • Friday theme and word of the day: Belonging
    • Belonging can be defined as the sense of being accepted, valued, and respected within a group or community. It's feeling like you are an important part of something larger than yourself.
