School Shout Out
We kicked off the year with our Anti-Bias Antiracism (AB/AR) theme of Identity Awareness and Action. This year we honor one school a month though we know you are all putting AB/AR into action! This month's school shout out goes to Eden Gardens Elementary School!!! A special shout out to now former principal Mr. McKinley and the ILT Members! Click here to see some examples of how Eden Gardens leaned into our theme as they applied ILT ideas to culturally responsive reading materials!
