WASHINGTON, N.J. – Warren Hills Regional Middle School announced that its 8th grade students will attend a special performance by nationally recognized speaker and performer Dr. Mykee Fowlin on Wednesday, January 28. The presentation, described as a “powerful one-man play,” is designed to engage students in conversations about identity, empathy, and inclusion.
Principal Nicholas Remondelli shared the details with families in a letter dated January 22, noting that the program aims to promote reflection on topics central to adolescent development — including race, acceptance, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and self-worth. The school emphasized that the performance encourages open discussion and reinforces the district’s commitment to fostering a positive and respectful school environment.
Dr. Fowlin’s performance features multiple characters and draws on his background in psychology and theater to address the challenges of growing up in a diverse world. According to Remondelli, the material is both thought-provoking and affirming, offering students a chance to explore personal resilience and empathy through storytelling.
Parents were advised that some themes may be emotionally charged for certain students. The school is offering families the option to opt out by contacting the principal directly to make alternate arrangements.
Remondelli said the performance has been praised by students elsewhere as both meaningful and impactful, adding that Warren Hills values experiences that contribute to students’ academic, social, and emotional growth.
