Targeting Racism and Bullying

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our "Embrace and Empower" (E&E) program is dedicated to helping students from age 7 to age 17 recognize and address racism and bullying through education, empathy, and active engagement, grounded in the love and teachings of Christ. E&E aims to promote cultural awareness, understanding, unity, and resilience within our community.

Program Components:

Educational Workshops

Understanding Racism and Bullying: Workshops that provide an in-depth understanding of the history, impact, and various forms of racism and bullying, all while reflecting on Christ's teachings about love and justice.

Cultural Awareness & Respect

Sessions focused on learning about different cultures, traditions, and perspectives to promote respect and appreciation for diversity, guided by the principle that we are all created in God's image.

Empathy and Compassion Training:

Activities and discussions aimed at fostering empathy and compassion, inspired by Christ's example of love and acceptance.

Discussion Groups

Open Dialogue Sessions:

Safe spaces for students to share their experiences, listen to others, and engage in meaningful conversations about racism, bullying, and diversity, all while seeking to embody the love and understanding taught by Christ.

Storytelling Circles:

Encouraging participants to share personal stories that highlight the importance of understanding and empathy in addressing racism and bullying, drawing parallels to the parables of Jesus.

Conflict Resolution and Peer Support:

Structured activities that teach students conflict resolution skills and how to support their peers in standing against racism and bullying.

Program Target Age Groups:

Elementary School

(Second Grade to Fifth Grade):

Younger children are at a formative stage where they can learn the basics of empathy, kindness, and respect. Early intervention helps prevent bullying behaviors and fosters inclusive attitudes from a young age.

Middle School

(Sixth Grade to Eighth Grade):

Middle school students are developing critical thinking skills and a stronger sense of self. This is a crucial time to address issues of racism and bullying, as peer influence becomes more significant. Providing tools for conflict resolution and cultural awareness can greatly impact their social interactions.

High School

(Ninth Grade to Age 17):

High school students are preparing for adulthood and are more capable of understanding complex social issues. They can take on leadership roles within the program, serving as mentors and advocates. Addressing racism and bullying at this stage equips them with the skills and knowledge to carry these values into their future endeavors.

Goals of the E&E Program:

Empathy and Understanding:

Foster a deeper understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by individuals of different racial backgrounds and those who have experienced bullying, inspired by Christ's empathy and compassion.

Cultural Competence and Respect:

Equip students with the knowledge and skills to interact respectfully and effectively with people from diverse cultures, guided by the belief that we are all God's children.

Active Engagement and Advocacy:

Encourage students to take an active role in addressing racism and bullying and promoting inclusivity in their communities, following Christ's example of standing against injustice.

Support and Resilience:

Provide a supportive environment where students affected by racism or bullying can find healing, encouragement, and resilience, reflecting the love and comfort that Christ offers.

Join us in creating a community where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered through the love of Christ.

Enrolling our child at Kimmy's Christian Academy has been one of the best decisions we've made. Mrs. Kimmy's dedication and care are evident in the loving and supportive environment she creates. The curriculum goes beyond academics, nurturing our child's character and spiritual growth. We've seen our child flourish and become more confident since starting here. Kimmy's Christian Academy truly feels like a second home for our family.

KDCA is a fun learning educational facility. I have learned so much especially this summer. I am well prepared for the school year. I feel at peace when I am at KDCA. I don't have to worry about being bullied here because everyone shows love especially Mrs. Kimmy. Most of all, I learn a lot about God's words including scriptures and prayers. KDCA is so peaceful. I have met so many wonderful people here.

You helped us so much and gave us the reassurance we needed when we had no idea what to do. My heart has been at ease knowing they are in great hands. We love you all. My oldest son is very protective over you. He's the same way when it comes to me. He doesn't attach himself to many people at all, so this brings my heart so much peace. Thanks for all you do.
