<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">All Berkeley High ninth
graders arrived at school on Wednesday to discover the campus was reserved for
the morning, just for them. Seniors had the morning off and every classroom in
the C and M buildings were full of juniors and sophomores who were busy taking
the PSAT.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">First they attended one of
two SPARK (Student Power Actualized through Respect and Kinship) assemblies
(Little Theater and Community Theater) designed to make them feel safe and
empowered at Berkeley High. Next they broke out into small break out groups
with 25 freshmen and one teacher, discussing next steps for Berkeley High around
some critical issues.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Working to build a positive
school culture is one of the goals this year and so staff, parents, and
students have been planning for weeks to bring students this informative and
empowering presentation, and it really showed in the assemblies, as students
listened intently to every part of the program. See photos and video of the
assembly in the Community Theater.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""></span></p>
