Interim Executive County Superintendent Daryl Palmieri visits EPS for Week Of Respect
Elizabeth Public School welcomed Interim Executive County Superintendent of Union County Daryl Palmieri on October 4 for his second visit as the district celebrated various school-wide Week of Respect activities. The Week of Respect is an annual week of awareness, education, and action around harassment, intimidation, and bullying in New Jersey public schools. The County Superintendent had the pleasure of visiting Elizabeth High School - Frank J. Ciracell Academy, Frances C. Smith Early Childhood Center School No. 50 and Dr. Albert Einstein Academy School No. 29. On his “Respect Tour,” he interacted with members of the student council in a Random Act of Kindness Challenge; visited classroom lessons on mediation, conflict resolution, and pro-social behaviors during recess; and experienced schoolwide choral displays with anti-bullying and positive self-efficacy messages. It was a wonderful celebration of students’ strengths and staff members’ actions in recognizing the importance of character education in our schools.
