Cultural Celebration Dress Days

On language celebration days (Hispanic Heritage, Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras), students may wear either traditional cultural costume reflecting the heritage(s) being celebrated or formal uniform. Examples of traditional cultural costume could include the Hanfu, Cheongsam, or Folkloric dance dress. NO jeans, t-shirts, and sweatshirts, even if they include the language of the celebrated culture or are the contemporary clothing of the celebrated culture, these will not be considered traditional cultural costumes and are not permitted on cultural celebration days. 

The goal is to honor and respect the cultures we are studying and learning about thus we increase formality of dress as a sign of respect for these cultures on these celebration days.

Around Campus

Many thanks to Pop Culture Classroom for donating Mr. Harbula's ELA class set of the award-winning graphic novel Button Pusher! Pop Culture Classroom is a Denver-based nonprofit organization that teaches literacy and the arts through alternative approaches to learning and character development. Button Pusher is an autobiographical memoir about a child who is diagnosed with ADHD and has to discover for himself how to best manage it. The texts will provide an engaging supplement for students to our Middle School Advisement unit on thoughts, emotions, and decisions. Thank you Pop Culture Classroom!

Our 2nd grade students enjoyed Westward Expansion Day. A favorite things was learning about the live cows at school. Students also got to participate in western activities.
