Fort Zumwalt North High School’s diversity club, FZNiAm, is in its second year. For their first meeting this year, they participated in a full day workshop that allowed the group to work on defining and recognizing bias, stereotypes, and also learned how to confront bias within themselves and others.

The day began with a team building project, which set the tone for the day as the students worked together to accomplish their task. The rest of the day was full of meaningful conversations as groups shared their experiences with each other during discussion sessions. The day ended with each student making a commitment to themselves on continuing the work within themselves.

We want to thank the O’Fallon Elks Lodge for providing the venue for the meeting. It was a pleasure to spend time with all of the students who participated in the day and we couldn’t be more honored to share in their growth.

Here are a few photos from our visit.
