SHARING ARTIFACTS OR ITEMS OF SIGNIFICANCE

As we continue to celebrate the rich diversity of our school community, we invite you to share artifacts or items of significance related to any cultural dates of significance that are recognized by your family. We will be collecting items throughout the year in the month of this significant date.

Artifacts could include decorations, traditional clothing, artwork, or other meaningful objects that reflect your family's customs and celebrations. Please keep any fragile or personal/sentimental items at home as we do not want to risk accidental damage or loss of precious items. (A picture of the item could also be emailed to the teacher if it is a precious item.)

Our aim is to foster an environment of learning and appreciation for the many traditions that make up our community.

We are currently collecting items for January and February dates of significance. We encourage you to send any artifacts related to these dates with your child to school any time in January or February. They will all be returned to your homes in early March.
