July 2021 Membership Newsletter |
|
We appreciate your support throughout your busy time and your endless effort in providing quality arts and humanities education for our students this summer. Thank you for your perseverance and dedication in helping our community in this, hopefully, recovery phase of the pandemic.
We are excited to welcome the back to school season and help prepare our students for their success in this upcoming school year. At the same time, it is also the time for us and our members to reflect on the challenges and successes from the past year, to rethink our policies, our shared values, and our mission, as well as to reset ourselves for this fresh new academic year.
We will continue to actively engage with you and our community and promote our high-quality arts and humanities education programs all year round.
Best Wishes,
DC Collaborative
