Welcoming Schools
As you know, we have worked closely with the Human Rights Campaign’s Welcoming Schools program this year. This has included staff training, parent workshops at Parent Involvement Day, and ongoing classroom lessons and corresponding materials. Our school has now embarked on a school wide inclusion project with more lessons and materials from Welcoming Schools. In addition, we will soon be starting a take home Family Book Bag program for families. In the coming days, I will be sharing more specific information about what we are doing and how you can support our work at home.

Sorry for the long message this week, but as you can see, we have a lot happening here at Wines!

David
