Honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day

Hola Jaguar Families!


I want to take a moment to remind students of why this Monday signifies an important holiday. We are celebrating the native populations who first called this land home. Despite a time period that was marked with tragedy, they endured the struggle to become an important contributor to our American History. What was formerly known as Columbus Day, has been more appropriately titled, "Indigenous Peoples' Day". At RCLA, we honor the contributions that they have made to our society, and furthermore, we celebrate with genuine purpose and intention.
