Happy School Volunteer Appreciation Week! I want to thank all of our amazing volunteers from the bottom of my heart for all that you do for our school. Thank you to all of our PTA members, other parent volunteers, and community volunteers. Your support provides enriching experiences for our students and makes our community so special. Read Volunteer Appreciation Week highlights for three volunteers on our website by clicking here, and check out the appreciation posters around the school.
And Wednesday was Admin Professionals Day. Please join me in recognizing our amazing office staff, Ms. Joyce and Ms. Danielle. They give 110% to support students, families, and staff and make our school run like a well-oiled machine!
Finally, this week we found out that Derek Chauvin was convicted on three counts for the murder of George Floyd. Although we still have far to go, this verdict was the result of the actions of so many who have protested and fought for racial justice and police reform. It is fitting that our next Social Justice Curriculum unit is on "Action," and our students will learn about ways they can take action to fight against inequality and injustice.
