School Shout Out
Our Anti-Bias Antiracism (AB/AR) theme this year is Identity Awareness and Action. This month's AB/AR shout out goes to Faith Ringgold School of Arts & Science!!! A special shout out to their multi-talented AB/AR Influencer Siobhan Isome who supports their entire school community to celebrate their great diversity and make intentional connections to literacy and inclusion.

AB/AR for Students
STUDENTS!!! Women's History Month is a crucial time to reflect on the progress made, acknowledge the work that still needs to be done, and celebrate the incredible impact women have had on shaping the world we live in today. It is an opportunity to build a more inclusive and equitable future for all. During Women’s History Month and year-round, recognize and uplift women change makers who are more likely to have been silenced or hidden from history.
