No Place for Hate Day

The Boyertown Area Community will be celebrating “No Place for Hate Day” on May 6, 2008. Each individual school in our district has become a “No Place for Hate” (NPFH) school and our school district was the first district in the state to become a NPFH district. In an effort to better include all the community, we are encouraging all local businesses and community members to become involved in the “No Place for Hate Day.” Some of the ways that the community can become active include the following: wearing a NPFH sticker, pin or t-shirt, posting and/or signing a NPFH resolution, displaying a NPFH poster, and encouraging local business or employees to be involved in supporting the NPFH Day. We hope that many employees and community members show their support of this special day.

Resolution of Respect

On May 19, 2006, all of Junior High East students and staff were given the opportunity to sign the Resolution of Respect. Every year, Mr. Ruppert, the school principal does a No place for Hate orientation and discusses signing the Resolution of Respect. It is important students understand what they are signing and that they are making a commitment to live by its content. The 7th grade students then have the opportunity to sign the Resolution.

No Place for Hate Activities

No Place for Hate Day – May 6, 2008
On Tuesday May 6th, the entire Boyertown Area Community will be celebrating “No Place for Hate Day." This day has been established for the entire community (schools, businesses, churches, etc.) to show support for continuing efforts in Boyertown to celebrate both our Unity and Diversity. Many businesses will give their employees the opportunity to sign the Resolution of Respect, wear T-shirts promoting the day, and be involved in various other functions. Students in schools and at the Boyertown YMCA will have some special programs surrounding this theme and also have the opportunity to obtain t-shirts and other items to support the cause.
