Advancing Racial Justice through Community Schools

@EdSource Ushering in a new trajectory for public education, California’s State Board of Education @SBECalifornia recently announced the grantees of a historic program aimed at creating racially equitable schools through sharing decision-making power with students, families, educators, and community partners.

Honoring Survivors of Gun Violence – #WearOrange (6/3-6/5)

#NELASchoolsRock #LDCChampionMentality #HighlandsCouncil #TenthDistrictPTSA #PTA4Kids #PTAProud

@Everytown Wear Orange is observed every June, when thousands of people wear the color orange to honor Hadiya Pendleton, shot and killed on a playground in Chicago on January 29, 2013, and the more than 40,000 people who are killed with guns and approximately 85,000 who are shot and wounded every year. Soon after this tragedy, Hadiya’s friends commemorated her life by wearing orange, the color hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others. (https://wearorange.org/)

Notes from the Backpack: How To Talk To Your Kids About Gun Violence

#ERHighSchool #NELASchoolsRock #LDCChampionMentality #HighlandsCouncil #TenthDistrictPTSA #PTAProud #BackpackNotes

When your child comes home from school after a lockdown drill, what’s the best way to start a conversation about it? We turn to expert Dr. Edith Bracho-Sanchez for guidance on these issues. She shares how to have open and honest conversations with children of all ages about lockdown drills, school shootings, and all of the emotions that come along with these topics.
