Black Lives Matter at School is a national coalition organizing for racial justice in education. Every year during the first week of February, Black Lives Matter at School hosts an annual week of action.
During the week of January 31, we embrace the concept that our students are our future, and we will be celebrating Black Lives Matter at School. Our students will be hearing from nationally recognized leaders and working on ways to put their learning into action.
The Black Lives Matter at school week of action is an important opportunity for all students and families to participate in order to learn about activism and structural racism and importantly, to amplify and honor Black history and identities.
As our committee works on planning for that week, we will be sharing updates in the upcoming weeks!
We are looking for parents and families to join us in this week of action. In particular, we are looking for families of color to have an opportunity to share their experiences and voices with us. Your participation will be valuable to all participating in this week of action. If you are able to read a book with younger students, share personal experiences, join events on campus and/or via zoom, please contact your principals and we can find a time and event that best fits your schedule. Throughout the week we will touch upon celebrating BIPOC, the LGBTQ+ community, and activism. We are welcome to your ideas and embrace all participation.
