The New Zealand memorial board will be taken down on Thursday, April 18th, so please post any notes of positivity and encouragement by end of day on Wednesday so we can take photos and send to the affected mosques New Zealand. Thanks so much.
On Friday, March 15th, our world experienced yet another horrific terrorist attack, this one claiming the lives of 51 people in New Zealand. Here at Bronx Science, we want to commemorate the lives lost and stand in solidarity with the Muslim community as we all heal from this tragedy. Above all, we at the S.O., in conjunction with the MSA club, wish to condemn hate crimes both inside and outside our borders in order to do our part as global citizens.
In order to commemorate the victims of this attack, we have dedicated the space above the stage in the cafeteria to show the pictures and stories of each of these victims.
Over the course of this week and the next, we hope that you can take take time to visit the board and learn about these people. We also hope that you can leave a message on the board with the post-its and other supplies that will be provided on the stage. You can also bring in some small pieces of art work from home to put on the board if you would like. Please be sure all messages posted are school appropriate.
We hope to fill the board with positive messages as a way to remember all the people who lost their lives that day but also as a way to raise awareness about the increase of hate crimes all over the world. Instead of letting our differences divide us, let our love unite us.

Bathroom Issues - Join the Bathroom Board!
The condition of the bathrooms in this school has been an ongoing issue and something needs to be done about it. We've heard your concerns year after year, but many factors affect the bathrooms. Additionally, it is our responsibility to keep the common spaces in the school clean and to use them as we would at home, which includes not throwing entire rolls of toilet paper into commodes, etc. While there is change needed from all sides, we as a student body, need to change the way we treat our bathrooms.
In order to make the needed changes, we are looking to create a bathroom committee. This committee will work together with the custodial staff to figure out how to improve the condition of the bathrooms and make sure all students respect the bathrooms.
We are looking to have a few representatives from each grade to be on this board. If you are interested and would like to be on the board, please fill out the attached google form. Once the board is formed, we will schedule a meeting with the custodians. Thank you!
