A Community Letter


Community Letter

Dear Parents,

We are excited to inform you of a new aspect of our curriculum that will provide a more well rounded education.  As our student body continues to grow into an even more diverse and multicultural population, it is important that we continue to strive to provide each student with the highest quality of education, regardless of their background.

Throughout the school year we will be implementing aspects of the curriculum which will be taught from the perspective of another country or culture.  We already have innovative and exciting projects planned for Black History Month, Cinco de Mayo, as well as several other important holidays and historical events spanning a multitude of countries and cultures.  

We feel that this aspect of our curriculum will benefit the children by opening up their eyes and minds to the ways of other countries and cultures.  Through this new direction, we hope to not only educate, but to create an environment of knowledge and acceptance of things which may initially come as unfamiliar to our students.  It is important for the students to understand and accept that there are different cultures and aspects of life than what they may be familiar with.

We hope you will join us in ushering in this new and exciting aspect to our curriculum and please feel free to contact us with any comments, questions or concerns you or your children may have.

Thank you, and let’s all have a productive school year!

Sincerely,

Jeff Lampack
Chair of Curriculum
