Flag Grant Success!

3/11/2024 1:07 pm

This week we wanted to share a bit of good news! 

Three 5th grade students noticed that not everyone felt represented by the flags hanging in the gymnasium and they took action! The students collected data from a student survey and came up with a list of missing flags. They worked with Mrs. Kaumeyer and submitted a grant request to the PTO; the PTO was happy to fund such an initiative. Thank you to Marlowe, Aria and Lana for taking action and promoting inclusivity! 

Keep your eyes peeled for the 23 new flags that will be hung soon!
