11. I am trying translate some of our large items (handbooks, Family Focus I send out monthly, etc.) for our non-English speaking families. So far I have this for Spanish, Somali, and Swahili. If you know of another language that is used by your students or their families, please let me know.
12. I also attached an info sheet on Somali culture for those of you who are interested. There are quite a few things that I learned that I did not previously know. It is a good, quick read!
