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:

LGBTQIA+ Pride Month Books
