December, recognized as Human Rights Month, offers a meaningful opportunity to embrace cultural responsiveness, especially as students and their families engage in diverse cultural celebrations. Schools play a vital role in fostering a sense of belonging by valuing students' identities and reflecting their cultures in the curriculum and environment. Over the next few weeks, staff will be engaging with students by listening to their stories, recognizing cultural celebrations & traditions such as Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Bodhi Day and others to create exchanges where all students feel seen, valued and respected in our school community.

 

Winter Concert

Last week we sent out the invitation to our K-Gr. 5 families.  We ask that families keep the capacity of our gym in mind and kindly request immediate family members to attend only.  Should you have a student in both concerts, please have your other child watch with you.
