DEI Celebration & Heritage Information
-
Celebrating cultures gives us an opportunity to see the world through the eyes of someone else. Our district embodies cultures and languages from all over the world. We are not a melting pot, but we are a stir-fry of greatness!
Our students and their families speak 83 different languages at home. Highlighting these unique languages will give us an opportunity to access the world from a different lens. Our languages spoken are shown under the SD 308 Languages list!
