School Spotlight- SVE Diversity Team
This week, I'd like to take the opportunity to shine a light on our student Diversity Team. This is a small group of students that range from fourth to sixth grades and led by SVE teachers- Mrs. April Paul, Ms. Kelly Dahl, and Mrs. Christen Pruett. These students are exploring the meaning of 'diversity' and how to spread that message school-wide. They are excited to be working on their next project which includes our student team members visiting classrooms and leading diversity activities, writing and reading messages about diversity and acceptance over morning announcements, and creating diversity segments for our SVE Channel 18 Broadcast. Take a look at the gallery below to see some of what this amazing team has been working on.
Best,
Mrs. Rachel Flood
