Upstanding and Understanding
Students from the Somers Middle School No Place for Hate Club and Student Council attended a leadership workshop run by the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center. The workshop was designed just for seventh-graders, and the presenters were assisted by high school students, including Somers students Peyton DiSiena and Kaitlyn DeRosa. The workshop focused on how to be an upstander, respect individuals for their differences and avoid microaggressions. "A microaggression is a comment you make that offends a person, even if you didn't mean to," says seventh-grader Olivia Soto. "A comment that could be taken as prejudiced or insulting to a group, like about race."
