Mix It Up Model Schools

Mix It Up Model Schools embrace respect and inclusiveness as core values—they “mix it up” all year long.  These schools have done an exemplary job of organizing, publicizing and implementing Mix It Up at Lunch Day. By sharing their recipes for success, Model Schools are beacons for other schools striving for inclusiveness. The 2011/2012 Mix It Up Model Schools will have met these criteria:

  1. Participation: Your school hosted a Mix it Up at Lunch Day in 2011 (it did not have to fall on national Mix Day, Oct. 18).
  2. Keep it Going: Your school followed up with at least two additional programs or events on campus that sustained the spirit of Mix It Up.
  3. Organization: You included different members of the school community (e.g., cafeteria staff, aides, administration, teachers or students) to organize Mix It Up.
  4. Publicity: it publicized Mix Day or celebrated inclusiveness with a variety of posters, announcements and other media.
  5. Implementation: Your students and colleagues saw Mix It Up at Lunch Day as a success.    

Haven’t done all this yet? There’s still plenty of time to make this school year a Mix It Up year. Applications for Model Schools are due by Feb 10, 2012.
