Longfellow PTA is committed to fostering an enriching and supporting climate with a racial, gender, and social equity lens that allows all students, staff, and families to thrive and succeed through:
REPRESENTATION
Make every effort to foster a PTA board and membership that are inclusive and reflective of its school community
INCLUSIVITY
Encourage PTA activities and communications at schools that are representative and inclusive of all families
ADVOCACY
Support and advocate for activities and practices that eliminate bias, prejudice, and inequities within the school community
COMMUNITY
Encourage families to build relationships with their teachers and school leadership and share opportunities to broaden students’ exposure to various histories and cultures not currently represented in school activities.
This month we recognize:
Representation through books is so important to our children. Each month, we will bring you lists of books we recommend for the month. These books may relate to holidays, Heritage Month celebrations, and months bringing awareness to different communities or issues.
Take this opportunity to find books where your child can see themselves represented - and equally important - show your children their classmates in these books.
Books We Recommend This Month:
Carribean American Heritage Books
