Happy Summer Easthampton families! I'm writing to share an anti-racism resource for our younger students, put together by my friend, Sally Blandon, through the Merit School of Music in Chicago. It's a simply joyful virtual musical story time with the goal of introducing young children to the concepts of diversity and inclusion in an age-appropriate manner. Please consider sharing with your children, even in smaller chunks, as it's about 45 minutes long. Some of the stories read/sung include: The Story of Rap by Dolphin Books, Most People by Michael Leannah, Get up, and Stand up by Cedellah Marley, among other songs and activities. Continue the conversation!
