Description
Press release from the Piedmont Unified School District:
November 1, 2021
All community members are invited to the Multi-Purpose Room at Piedmont Middle School on Tuesday, November 9th, at 7:00 p.m. to preview this year's Consent Assembly.
All freshmen/sophomores and juniors/seniors will be watching two different versions of the Consent Assembly on Monday, November 15, during the school day so we invite all parents to attend this preview to springboard your own important discussions at home regarding consent.
The two versions of the Consent Assembly include dramatic presentations of carefully curated stories based on high school students' real accounts of sexual violence and consent, performed by Piedmont High School and Millennium High School students.
The assembly fosters empathy and critical thinking by showing a variety of perspectives from students who have navigated consent – from survivor to perpetrator to bystander. The assembly also promotes a culture of inclusion by exploring various kinds of relationships and inspires students to embrace the values of affirmative consent, bystander intervention, communication and healthy relationships.
