UNITY DAY
Beaver Stars will wear ORANGE on Wednesday, Oct. 18th for Unity Day! This is a day when we focus on our school being united for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.
Something that makes Beaver so special is our diversity! We have students from different ethnicities, as well as with different learning abilities. Unity Day is a great day to teach our students that we are ALL different, and that should be celebrated!
