The Maya Lin SJEC (Social Justice and Equity Committee) works towards a school community where every child feels welcome and every family feels a sense of belonging.
SJEC Mission
SJEC Mission
Cultivate empathy in action as a core value.
Expand the diversity of parent reps across Maya Lin School; include LGBTQ+, SpEd, bilingual, low income, all faiths, races, and genders.
Share culture and celebrate differences.
Talk about race, culture, and ethnicity in a way that de-centers the idea of a default/dominant culture and that takes us towards a multiplicity of experiences.

Each year, students from Ms. Day's class led a diversity audit of our classroom libraries and challenge Maya Lin to offer more diverse representation. The PTA is partnering with the school to support and fund the efforts to increase diversity in our school libraries.
