The Time is Now

Do You Know Who I Am?

“You can’t love us, if you don’t know us.” –  Bettina Love

How do you get to know someone?  How will you gain a better understanding of a culture or race you have little or no interactions with?  You spend quality time, you ask clarifying questions, you listen actively, visit neighborhoods, read books, watch movies and documentaries.  During this cultural pandemic we are currently facing, gaining a deeper understanding of the students and families you instruct is vital.  Making connections early and often is a proactive approach to establish collaborative relationships and create momentum for the upcoming year.  Knowledge and truth will spread through our district to help cure this epidemic to show we value and appreciate diversity.
