“It’s a good way to spread a (good) message to the whole school,” said Mei.
The main purpose of Unity week is to express and emphasize diversity at Centennial while also attempting to get students involved.
“(We’re) focusing on the idea that everyone is different,” said Mei.
The lunchtime daily activities are still to be determined by Mei and student council.
Mei remarked, “We’ll see what happens.”
