Tomorrow: Kalise Wornum to Conduct Workshop on Race

Plan now to attend the WHS PTSO meeting on Wednesday, January 13th at 7:00 p.m. in the WHS Library.  

Kalise Wornum, K-12 METCO Director and WHS Liaison will be conducting a workshop on "Difficult Conversations:  Talking about Race and Racism with Children and Colleagues".  

This talk is designed to help participants develop a better understanding of ways to address and respond to issues of race and racism on a personal and professional level. Participants will consider the experiences of students and families from ethnically or racially diverse backgrounds in predominantly white schools, and will examine both the barriers to/challenges of talking about race/racism/ethnicity and strategies for engaging in productive discussions.

Members of the Wellesley Public School community are invited to attend.  Bring a friend and be part of this important conversation.

WEF -- Survey For The Wellesley Community

Members of the Wellesley community are invited to participate in a brief survey that will inform the future direction of the Wellesley Education Foundation (WEF). 

As many of you may already know, WEF is a non-profit, volunteer-run community organization that works to enrich and support the Wellesley Public School system. This year, WEF has undertaken a strategic planning process through which we will identify our goals and priorities for the next five years. We are soliciting input from a variety of key stakeholders to ensure that our assessment incorporates the diverse perspectives of the community we serve.

 The survey should take no more than 5-8 minutes. We kindly ask that you please complete the survey by Tue., Jan. 19th at 6 PM. If you have any questions about this survey or WEF's strategic planning process, please contact Lisa Hicks ([email protected]), chair of the WEF Strategic Planning Committee.

Please CLICK HERE  to take the survey.  Your input as a member of the Wellesley community is of great value to us. We sincerely appreciate your participation. Many thanks in advance!
