Thank you so much to the Diversity Committee, FoSN and all our volunteers who made this event a success!  

Judging from the number of passports that were distributed, we had close to 250 families and their students attend the event and learn about the rich diversity of the Skinner North community!  At the event, students and families were able to  travel the globe while learning and sharing their own culture through various performances and booths.  What a great way to celebrate our school community!

You can drop off your food donations in the main entryway, be sure to put them in the Room donation box, between Friday, Nov. 13 and Friday Dec. 11.  The top 3 classrooms will receive extra recess. 


Some items that the food depository is in need of include:
• Canned vegetables & fruit
• Canned stews, soups, and chili
• Canned beans
• Canned tuna
• Pasta sauce
• Jelly

Also, all participating students are eligible for the student raffle to win cool Bulls prizes.  Students can be entered by emailing fosnservice@gmail.com with the student’s name, classroom & grade or submitting a raffle ticket from the attached flyer in the parent room.
Thanks to everyone in our Skinner Community for kicking off the Holiday Season by helping to fight hunger!

Author Talk- Jacqueline Woodson: Brown Girl Dreaming

11/2/2015

0 Comments

 
Students in 7th and 8th grade read Brown Girl Dreaming, a memoir written by Jacqueline Woodson.  They, then, attended an author talk.   At the event, students learned more about her life and experiences and came away with a stronger understanding of the text and the author. 

​"Brown Girl Dreaming, Jacqueline Woodson’s memoir-inverse, is a rich and poignant description of life as a black child in the 1960s. But in telling her own story so powerfully, she also has painted an indelible portrait of Jim Crow America, both in the South and the North, and resonated with readers and critics alike. The author of more than 30 books, Woodson received the National Book Award for Young People and the Newbery Honor for this latest work. She takes to the CHF stage for a conversation about her life and influences."
