Celebrating Diversity
International Day is one of my personal favorite events at ISY. It’s a day to celebrate our cultural identities and share unique, diverse perspectives. As a learning community, we encourage our students to celebrate diversity and cultural perspectives. How at home can we encourage our children to celebrate diversity?
- Read: Literature is a wonderful way to open the door to a new perspective. Reading with your child from a wide variety of perspectives, authors and genres will expose them to understandings of diversity.
- Expose your children to a wide range of people and experiences: Visit places outside your norm and bring awareness to the unique differences of these experiences.
- Be open to questions: When children are curious, they ask. Be open and honest with your answers. If you don’t know the answers, seek resources that can help.
- Encourage change: When diversity isn’t celebrated and exclusion occurs. Help your child see that they can promote inclusion and acceptance.
If you have questions or would like to learn more about how ISY celebrates diversity, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Patty at escounselor@isyedu.org. She is available to support all ISY families.
WORLD CUP FOOTBALL
A group of students has started recording the world cup football scores. This can be found on the window of my office. It is a great place to see how your favorite team is doing and a great way for students to get involved in the fun of the cup.
The wonderful pictures below will be on display during the cultural show as the backdrop for the stage on International Day. This is a wonderful collaboration by the art department with our students and teachers.
