December: A Month of Kindness

Hi MTW!

A big Thank You goes out to Ms. Blair and the KindVersity Club for this project:

Happy December!

In today's morning news, KindVersity Club announced that today kicks off a month-long campaign to spread kindness throughout the Frontier community and beyond. 

To that end, members of the KV club are sharing Kindness Calendars with all faculty, staff and students. Look for one, and please feel free to share this calendar far and wide :) I've attached an image of this calendar below. 

Stay tuned for more info and updates on this project - and please, join in!

    I support Ms. Blair and the KindVersity club's ideas for making Frontier and the students at Frontier a better and happier place. This a very good thing and idea for the school. I fully support making our school more positive, as I feel we need it here. In conclusion this is why I am contributing to this page.

    I feel like this is a good thing for the school. I support this KindVersity Project and it will bring more happiness and push away the negativity throughout the school and a hope to bring the school together. I think this would be great if this wasn't just for one month and multiple months of the school year, because I believe that kindness shouldn't be just for one month.

      Great point! Why don't we create a calendar at the beginning of every month? I'm sure we can find on or use this one as a template!

What Mr. Costello Is Reading Right Now: Jaylen Brown

Hi MTW! As a teacher and a coach, I am always trying to get my students and players to access their entire human experience and apply it to the skills required for our sport or class.  In teaching 9th graders, I have a lot of fun reading different kinds of narratives throughout the semester and imploring my students to follow their own path for a goal for which they would be a "stone through water."  As a coach, my players must have a mindfulness of their bodies and their process in order to perform at their peak.  The hidden message behind all of these lessons is that the tasks we perform day-to-day in any context, be it the classroom or the playing field, should require our entire concentration in the moments that we are processing them.  Jaylen Brown: ‘We’re having some of the same problems we had 50 years ago. Some things have changed a lot but other factors are deeply embedded in our society.’ Photograph: Brian Babineau/NBAE/Getty Images Jaylen Brown of the Celtic

What Mr. Costello Is Reading Right Now: Wyatt Walker

Hi MTW! Yesterday Wyatt Walker's obituary came across my news feed and I was jolted a bit because of a chapter that I teach out of Malcolm Gladwell's book "David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants."  The chapter is titled "Wyatt Walker" and it tells the story of some of the critical moves made during the Civil Rights Movement.  Wyatt Walker was the architect behind some of the peaceful protests in Birmingham, AL that led to a national perception shift of the treatment of blacks in the South. Read Walker's obituary here: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/obituaries/wyatt-tee-walker-dead.html?referer=http://m.facebook.com "Dr. Walker joined the fledgling Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1961 and served until 1964 as its executive director and, unofficially, as Dr. King’s right-hand man. At the S.C.L.C., he devised a structured fund-raising strategy and organized numerous protests, including a serie

The Responsibility of Privilege

Mateo Rull 12th grade Social Justice Magazine Club Frontier Regional School 9/28/2017 “ I am white. That’s all you know about me. Am I privileged based on that alone? And assuming I am, should I feel guilt? And what should I do about it?" Stand up comedian Omar Ismail answers this long and ambiguous question in the most graceful way: comparing white privilege to height, liberating himself from the controversy (which is bound to happen regardless) of racial debate; debate that in fact should not exist at all. A debate that originated from sheer ignorance in times past and that somehow we haven’t managed as a species to overcome. “Consider it this way, All I know about you is that you’re tall. Does that mean you don’t deserve the can of tuna on the higher shelf? Should you feel guilty about getting the tuna from the top shelf? Does that mean short people can’t get the tuna? Does that mean there aren’t any disadvantages of being tall?” No, No, No and No. What tru
