Native American Heritage Month
Dear Families and Guardians,
As we move into the holiday season, I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your continued partnership and support. This time of year invites us to reflect on what we are thankful for, and at the top of that list is our incredible school community. We are truly honored to serve your children each day, it is a privalage.
November also marks Native American Heritage Month, an important opportunity for us to recognize and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Native and Indigenous peoples. Throughout the month, our students have engaged in meaningful learning experiences that highlight Native voices, traditions, and perspectives. We are committed to fostering understanding, respect, and inclusivity in all that we do.
As we look ahead to the remainder of the school year, please know how grateful we are to partner with you. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful, peaceful, and restorative holiday season.
Warmly,
Angie Dillingham
