 Community Time - Hispanic Heritage Celebration

The Lower School had fun celebrating Hispanic Heritage month with a Latinx dance party and a Latin American Hide and Seek game called, Sardines. 

Author, Julius Lester, included these words in "Let's Talk about Race," “I am a story. So are you.” The book discusses how each individual has many different elements to their "story," from family, to names, to likes and dislikes, and even race. Each child created their own "I Am a Story" poster and explored what makes him/her special.
