We have so much to celebrate this month!
We hope you join us and stop by to introduce yourself. Meeting with the community and celebrating our underrepresented and underserved residents, and allies alike, is why this work is so important to us.

Loveland is also having it's first PRIDE celebration this month! Loveland Pride is hosting the sold out event "Pride on the Rooftop". In recognition of our effort to make Loveland a more welcoming and more inclusive place for everyone, they have decided to donate the event proceeds to Heart and Sol. We thank Loveland Pride and are appreciative of their support as we continue to celebrate and advocate for under-represented segments of our community. We are excited to join them in celebrating love (including of one self!), acknowledging the progress that has been made through endless efforts of the LGBTQIA community and yelling from the rooftop (maybe literally this time) that we stand with everyone who continues the efforts towards equality.

Several Heart and Sol members have been working closely with the Thompson School District as a part of the Equity Task Force. We are thankful for the work being done by the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Team and their efforts to involve the community in developing recommended strategies for the Educational Equity Policy. The Educational Equity Policy was approved in June 2020 by the TSD Board of Education but the work has continued into the framework and actionable recommendations of implementation.
We're excited to see steps being taken in the right direction to help make our schools an inclusive environment for everyone, students, staff and families alike.
The District commits to ensuring that it will not limit student opportunity, access, and success on the basis of a person's actual or perceived characteristics such as, but not limited to, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, immigration/citizenship status, age, marital status, conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth, genetic information, mental or physical disability, need for special education services, or any other protected class in conformance with federal, state, and local law.
The Educational Equity policy is designed to address persistent gaps in academic achievement and growth, athletic and activity participation, and disciplinary outcomes for students. Building capacity of district staff to demonstrate equitable practices throughout the system will bring about the conditions and skill sets needed to ensure educational benefit to each of our students.

Loveland Museum Classes, Camps & Workshops |
|
The Loveland museum is a great partner and supporter of Heart and Sol. With summer here, we want to make sure everyone knows that they offer a variety of art classes for all ages. These classes allow students the opportunity to explore a variety of mediums with talented instructors. For most classes, no previous art experience is required. Unless specified, all supplies are provided for each class.

As Heart and Sol of Loveland our group is made up of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and allies who look to promote ethnic and cultural diversity in the Loveland community, with partnerships throughout Northern Colorado. We look to inspire conversations and influence local change by engaging with individuals, organizations and community resources. Our goal is to support, celebrate, and embrace cultural richness for our community.
