Inclusive Schools Week – Dec. 4th – 8th

We plan to highlight inclusion throughout this week. We are having an assembly to celebrate Inclusive Schools Week on Friday, Dec. 8th at 9:00 a.m. We hope each grade level will have one or two students ready to share poems, essays or artwork that represent inclusion and soul singer Jerry Mack, who is also blind, will perform for our students. I will check in with teams at Tuesday SST meetings to see if you have any students who are able to share work.
