Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we observe National Native American Heritage Month, I want to take this opportunity to highlight the importance of recognizing and honoring the rich traditions and contributions of Native American peoples. This month serves as a reminder of the diverse cultures shaping our community and nation.
We encourage you to engage with your children about the significance of this month. Consider exploring books, films, and resources celebrating Native American history and culture. This can be a wonderful way to foster conversations at home and deepen their understanding of the world around them.
Throughout the month, our school will incorporate lessons and activities reflecting Native American heritage. We aim to create an inclusive environment that respects and values all cultures, and we appreciate your support in reinforcing these messages at home.
Thank you for being an essential part of our school community. Together, we can ensure that our students appreciate the richness of our diverse heritage.
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
