Art Display at Piggly Wiggly
Please enjoy the Giant flowers at Piggly Wiggly and tag #D34pride with any photos on social media. The flowers will be up through the month of May. K-2 students at D34 each created a flower petal, while learning about texture in art. They each created rubbings within their petal.
From the entire D34 Family to yours, Happy Mother’s Day!
May is Asian-American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month
The following note is from the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center
As we mark another commemoration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we have to acknowledge how this time feels different. A global pandemic has shaken our communities to the core, revealing long-standing and often unacknowledged inequalities. Our families in Atlanta, Indianapolis, and throughout the nation continue to shoulder the pain of losing loved ones to violence and harassment. Please remember to take time to support each other as we try to make sense of these times. Usually, these month-long events in May have been wonderful ways to gather up our voices to celebrate achievements. We would share songs, food, ritual, and stories. And while this year we grieve, let us also strive to find the humanity in each other. We wish to see the fullness of who we have been, who we are, and who we can still be. We are more than what has been done to us. We bear witness to and participate in calls for racial equality, justice, and much-needed kindness and healing. Our Asian American and Pacific Islander traditions demonstrate unity and care for each other. On behalf of everyone at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, I invite you to live out these ideals with us not only in May, but throughout the year.
Theodore S. Gonzalves, Ph.D.
Interim Director
Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center
One way we are celebrating this month is with a display in our school library. We have books on display that are about or written by Asian-Americans or Pacific Islanders. Mrs. Turner's 5th grade class contributed the beautiful origami birds.
