Dear teachers,
We are delighted to be able to provide all MOE schools complimentary copies of our special issue of MIX magazine
dedicated to Racial Harmony Day and the 60th anniversary of the Maria Hertogh Riots.
This is a magazine produced for the partner schools of What's Up, Singapore's newspaper for students. Thanks to the
support of the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS), OnePeople.SG and the Community
Engagement Programme, we were able to print a limited number of extra copies for free distribution to our non-partner
schools as well.
Within its pages, you'll find heartwarming stories about communities dealing with the challenges of racial and religious
intolerance here and elsewhere. This is truly a one-of-a-kind resource for you to use not only for Racial Harmony Day
but also for year-round NE and CME efforts. We put a handle on the issues with clear explanations of how hate-mongers
use weapons of hate and what each of us can do to resist their attempts to stir up trouble. A second recurring theme is the
need to pitch in and build peaceful, caring communities wherever we are.
To help you make the most of the magazine in your classroom, do check out our ready-to-print online activity extensions. They can be found if you follow the links above.
What's Up has been making a mark with our values-driven journalism since 2003 and now have more than 30,000
subscribers in 60-plus primary and secondary schools. To become a partner school for 2011, please contact Jennifer Lee,

Sincerely,
Mary Cherian and Cherian George
