REAL (Racial Equity & Learning)
REAL (Racial Equity & Learning) brings together Northampton public school teachers, staff, students (middle school and up) & caregivers who are committed to developing an intentionally anti-racist district. Those of us involved are deepening our understanding of how race, racism, and whiteness operate in the Northampton Public Schools and beyond. We are working together and across our community to envision and create schools with diverse racial representation, belonging and celebration - in staffing, curriculum and community building.
REAL will be hosting an open meeting via zoom on Sunday, November 6 from 6-7:30pm. This will be an opportunity for anyone affiliated with our district to learn more about REAL, including ways to get involved; and for current members to (re)connect in a less structured/more social environment than our current subcommittee meetings.
If you would like to receive the Zoom link for the meeting OR are unable to attend the open meeting but would like to learn more about REAL, please contact REAL’s NHS parent representative, Jenny Bender, at jennybinhbender@gmail.com
And please check out our website at https://realnorthampton.com and follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/REALNoho) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/real_noho)!
