FORE Equity + Inclusion Committee Meeting

Please join us tonight on Zoom for our final Equity & Inclusion Committee meeting of this school year.

We will have open time to discuss advocacy and, to use the language of my first grader, “We learned how to be an ‘upstander’ instead of a ‘bystander.’”  What does it mean to be an ‘upstander’ when we witness, are aware of, or are made aware of inequities and injustices at our child(ren)’s school?  We’ll begin promptly at 6p and end promptly at 7p. I look forward to meeting with you all tonight! Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82739967796?pwd=VUJ3TzlJWHpGM2dJaTNUQjhJQlV0UT09 Meeting ID: 827 3996 7796 Passcode: 914838
