Share Your Story
The Sprague Staff Cultural Diversity Committee would love to connect with individuals, families, or a caregiver who would be interested in putting together a bulletin board display to teach others about their culture or about a culture that is relevant to their family. Our goal is to share with students and families about different cultures and to increase community connections. You are welcome to use your own creativity and ideas for your display! You may want to include information about a country, holiday, or another facet of your culture. For the physical display you may consider artifacts, photographs, facts, or anything else you think would help our students broaden their understanding of the world and of each other.
For more information or to sign up for a month, please visit the Sign Up Genius. You can also contact me, Ms. Lenzini, Sprague EC through second-grade Library Media Specialist with questions: llenzini@d103.org.
