Today, students across campus found a meaningful, student-led way to show support for our U.S. immigrant community.
Some words that stayed with us from the day:
When asked what kind of community we want to be and we want to see: “A community that is peaceful, nonviolent, and where everyone is welcome.” – 4th grader
“We are all human.” – 5th grader
“We are more interesting and beautiful in our diversity… We are responsible for one another.” – 6th grade teacher
