Dawson Named a No Place For Hate School

The Anti-Defamation League let Dawson know that its efforts this year have earned the school an official designation as a No Place for Hate school for 2019-2020.

During an Upper School meeting in September of 2019, the Anti-Defamation League and it's No Place for Hate program were presented to our community. It was at this time that the entire Upper School agreed and signed the No Place for Hate Pledge. As a community we agreed to the following:

 

Soon thereafter, roughly 30 upper school students demonstrated their interest and desire to be a part of something transformative. During our bi-weekly meetings, we met and discussed how we could reach out into the community a little bit more. Through these conversations, our Coalition was able to do the following: Lead the MLK assembly, organize Advisory Curriculum around Identity and Compassion, attend the Cherry Creek Diversity Leadership Conference, and recently assembled our community during our remote learning by taking a moment to give thanks to our local heroes during times of COVID. 

 

Students, Faculty and community members alike acknowledge the transformative effect the work the No Place for Hate Coalition has brought to Dawson. 

 

Embedding the values of No Place for Hate lets our community know Dawson School upholds the rights of everyone to feel safe and respected at school.
