GWYNEDD SQUARE’S CULTURAL PROFICIENCY AND EQUITY TASK FORCE
Right here at Gwynedd Square, we have a small group of dedicated parents and staff members working hard to create resources, displays, and activities for our school. The goal is to help make Gwynedd Square an inclusive, welcoming, and equitable environment for ALL families, by celebrating the diversity of our school community and creating an environment of respect where all members of the school community are empowered to learn, grow, and appreciate one another.
We are always looking for fresh voices and perspectives from parents who are interested in getting more involved with bringing our district’s vision of cultural proficiency to life! Our first meeting of the year is Thursday, October 13th at 7:00 PM. Please consider joining us!

Trunk or Treat at Gwynedd Square
What is Trunk or Treating?
This is a safe and fun environment for ONLY GWYNEDD SQUARE children and their families
to trick or treat! Siblings are invited! It is not open to the public. The rear parking lot of the
school will be transformed into a Halloween extravaganza. Gwynedd Square families are
invited to decorate the trunks of their cars to pass out candy to “Trunk or Treating” Gwynedd
Square children dressed in costume. Home and School will provide the candy to hand out.
There will be “allergy safe” candy options at each car.
