THANK YOU to the many students, caregivers, and staff who came together to create a fantastic International Fest last week! Special shout out to Rita Wu for creating the vibrant cultural show and to Hannah Willage for developing a gym full of cultural activities for students.
Both Diversity Committee Co-Chair positions are open for next school year. Committee volunteers organize cultural events, author visits, assemblies, teacher training, holiday celebrations, book clubs, and more, based on co-chair leadership (what you have interest and energy to create with members). If you would like to continue programming related to diversity and inclusion in our school community, please reach out to sndiversity@gmail.com before the end of this school year. Thank you!
