A wall to build tolerance

High school students are hoping tolerance can be built through a wall – well, at least a wall of ceramic tiles.

The students, guided by English teacher Rita Owens, are creating a ceramic tile “Wall of Tolerance” in the school.

Owens said everyone in the community is encouraged to submit a design or artwork (no bigger than 11” by 11”) that depicts the theme of tolerance, diversity and acceptance, along with the $10 fee in a check made out to RCS High School. Artists may sign or initial their designs.

Designs can be sent to Owens by mail at 2025 Rt. 9W in Ravena or electronically at rowens@rcscsd.org.

Each tile costs $10, of which $8 will cover costs and $2 will be used to bring a guest speaker into school next fall.

Please take note: People with experience tiling are asked to assist in the project. Please email Ms. Owens at rowens@rcscsd.org
