My students are the epitome of diversity. In one building we have a distinct Russian population, Muslim population, a low socioeconomic population, and an array of students who come to our school to get away from more urban schools in the area. With that being said, we are working on bridging the gap between socioeconomic groups and also eliminating the bullying that may of our Arab students face. As a school we are building positive behavior programs and more clubs so that the students WANT to be there. Too many high interest "fun" activities have been taken out of the curriculum, so we are bringing it back into our after school programs.
