As we often notice, what students see via various media sources and what they hear from adults and peers around them- it eventually flows into the classroom.

All of our students should be able to attend a school where they feel welcomed and respected- that's an American public education. As it is Black history month, here is an article that reminds about the importance to recognize all year:
