Highlighting The Movement to Teach AAPI History - Skinner North

Read the following article by Jennifer Liu (cnbc) who writes about the movement to Teach Asian American Pacific Islander History in schools to hear more about this work at Skinner North.  https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/11/the-movement-to-teach-aapi-history-in-public-schools-is-growing-heres-the-impact.html. 

As a school community, we strive to ensure all feel included and valued.  Ensuring students have curriculum where they see themselves and have opportunities to build empathy and understanding is essential.  Our teachers work hard to do this and continuously grow in this work.

Battle of the Books
Skinner North 4th-6th grade Battle of the Books teams got 1st place at the City Finals!  Congratulations to the team, which included: Beatriz W, Samarth A, Hannah G, Krishvi N, Jude P, Kush S, and Dhwaj V.  They were incredible- they were so prepared, worked well together and had a blast!  Students prepare by reading books on a provided list and then participate in a day tournament or game, like College Bowl or Family Feud, in which students' teams earn points by answering questions about the books on the book lists.
