Northville Public Schools is excited to celebrate its 3rd annual district-wide Inclusion Week from March 3-7! This special week is dedicated to promoting inclusivity, diversity, and belonging across all of our schools, with fun activities, themed dress-up days, and meaningful opportunities for students and staff to engage in the message of inclusion.
What is Inclusion Week?
Inclusion Week is a time when our students, teachers, and the entire community come together to learn, grow, and celebrate diversity, empathy, and self-acceptance. Throughout the week, the Northville High School Unified Peer Program will lead daily activities, fostering a fun and impactful experience for all.
Last year, Inclusion Week raised $700 from t-shirt sales, which was donated to the New Hope Center for Grief Support. This year, we are thrilled to announce that t-shirt sales alone raised an incredible $12,000!
