The Current Need: Committee Co-Chairs
Wonderful incoming kindergarten caregiver, Sylvia Shi, will serve as one of the committee co-chairs next school year. As current caregivers who are more familiar with the school, let's give her an assist! Please check out this Diversity Committee Slideshow to celebrate our work over recent years as you consider what YOU would like to plan next. Please reach out to kmagnuson@gmail.com or sndiversity@gmail.com (this email account will not be checked regularly during the summer) to raise your hand to pick up a leadership role with a group of fantastic volunteers.
Thank you for your contributions to committee planning and activities this school year. Your #TEAMwork is appreciated in building a strong, empathetic school community that values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
