Dear Julian Curtiss Parents,
We are heading into one of the highlights of our school year, United Nations Week at Julian Curtiss!
This week the students will experience an assembly provided by our generous PTA Music with a Latin Beat, as well as the United Nations Day Parade and the International Food Tasting on Friday night. Fifth graders are researching their respective countries and cultures and will be visiting the United Nations in the beginning of November. Parents have offered to come in and share their cultures with their child's class. Please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher if you would like to share cultural information.
Our little school represents the broad diversity we see within the borders of Greenwich, which mirrors the diversity of America. We consider this, along with our mosaic of races, religions, and languages our greatest strength. The Julian Curtiss School, in partnership with their families and community, embraces our differences and through them are inspired to make the world a better place.
Respect and acceptance require us to have due regard for culture, values, customs, and beliefs. Once we embody this respect and acceptance we can model the essential elements of democracy—liberty, justice, the common good, equality, diversity, and truth so students can experience and contribute to their school environment, the community, and the world.
Thank you for being our partner in supporting our children to make the world a better place going forward!
Wishing you all peace,
Trish McGuire and Matthew Hartigan
