Monthly Observances

The Dimension of Belonging highlighted in June is “Needed.” This month includes four observances on the calendar: LGBTQ+ Pride, Immigrant Heritage, Eid-El-Adha and Juneteenth. Read more in the District’s Belonging Means… newsletter.

Our Monthly Observances are designed to build awareness, respect, and understanding among students from all backgrounds and family structures. These celebrations help us teach the values of inclusion, empathy, and shared humanity that are foundational to our educational mission.
