Every meal counts!
That’s why we’re excited to bring Meatless Mondays to Berkeley Schools! Meatless Monday is a global movement that encourages people to reduce their meat consumption by not eating meat on Mondays, something that we would love to inspire in our Berkeley community. Starting on the 25th, we’ll be sharing information about how eating less meat can make a difference for our earth, our animals, and our bodies. Check out our daily posts on the leadership Instagram, @Juicethejackets, and look out for Meatless Mondays starting February 6th. Join us in bettering our world one meat-free meal at a time!

Stay tuned, and stay sustainable!

Schedule:

Tuesday - Environment
Wednesday - Animal Welfare
Thursday - Personal Health
Friday - looking forward… how to participate in Meatless Mondays in the future!

Limited opportunity for BHS students:
#beresourceful #diy Essential Repair Skills Training

Do you have broken stuff?
Why not learn to fix your stuff instead of sending it to landfill and spending money on replacements?

In these training sessions you will learn hands-on skills in how to diagnose and repair your broken belongings. You’ll also learn about the impact of throwing stuff away and how you can do your part to help the environment.

The trainings will run from January 29 to April 30, 2021, meeting once a week, via Zoom, Fridays, 3-4pm.

Sessions will be taught by Cal students, along with community repair experts. The January 29 session will be a brief introduction, an overview of repair concepts will start in February, then in mid-February the class will focus on hands-on repair training sessions covering basic electronics, such as phones and tablets; appliances, such as lamps and headphones; clothing; bicycles and skateboards.

The trainings will wrap up with a survey, asking participants to reflect on what they learned and next steps in terms of further learning, internships and career opportunities. Certificates of completion will be given to students who attend the sessions and successfully complete the course and survey. The class will be limited to 10 students, with a waiting list to accommodate other interested students.

Contact info@transitionberkeley.org or call 510-332-9456 for more info and to enroll.

Berkeley High represents many things great about

Berkeley High represents many things great about public education. What we do not represent nor support are the white supremacist views and white privilege that continues to suppress the advancement of all people. While what took place in Washington D.C. yesterday can be described with various names like coup, insurrection, or by the less aware as a a protest, it was all of those things masquerading as a desire to resist giving up white supremacist control. There is a rising consciousness taking place in the hearts and minds of most young people, a change happening in this country that threatens those who wish to hold onto the power that is brought to them by a system built on white supremacy. Yesterday white supremacy took the form of storming a federal building, but today it could resemble something much more acute. At this point in time, silence is no longer acceptable. When you see something, say something or learn how to speak up by asking for help to do so. Read from more diverse literature to gain a wider perspective about ALL the people living in this country and world. The silence and lack of understanding has built from a single pebble to a mountain of tolerance. And Berkeley High does not stoop to tolerating things. Berkeley High stands for acceptance which requires a higher level of understanding and compassion. You may be able tolerate wet socks, but you definitely shouldn’t accept drowning in a sea of misinformation, racism, and other inequities just to get by each day. We saw what happens when seemingly small breaches of norms are allowed to continue. It is on each one of us to do the anti racist work and to push our institution to do the same. Berkeley High can remain a amazing place to learn all of these things and it will require each member of the community to step up.

SATISFY YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS WHILE HELPING

SATISFY YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS WHILE HELPING BERKELEY PUBLIC SCHOOLS! (Links will be included in this weeks bulletin)

For high schoolers, there are 2 primary pathways into Berkeley Schools Volunteers (BSV), which is a program of the Berkeley Public Schools Fund:

1. Students who can give at least an hour every week could join Berkeley Schools Volunteers (BSV) as a "Distance Learning Volunteer." These volunteers complete BSV's onboarding training and then get matched with a BUSD Host Teacher (at the grade level and subject area of their choosing). They support online - in whole group Zooms, in small groups, or even in 1:1 breakouts. They might also help their Host Teacher review students' asynchronous work. The distance learning volunteer application is HERE and we have several orientations in January.

2. Students who have time every once in a while can join Berkeley Schools Volunteer's COVID-response email list to get notified about and sign up for other district-wide projects. Some projects are ongoing, like staffing the Ed Hub every Tues/Thurs afternoon (BUSD's central distribution site for tech and learning tools) or joining BSV's Tech Support team (to answer student and family tech questions asynchronously). BSV also has periodic one-time events like assembling science kits, or restoring a school garden. COVID-response volunteers receive about 2 emails each month with ongoing BUSD volunteer opportunities. Students can sign up to join BSV's COVID-response email list HERE.

We hope many of you can join us on the front lines of BUSD's COVID-response during this very difficult year.
