Happy to be back today as it has been a crazy short week. The Black Lives Matter Week of Action in Madison is February 4-8th. This is the third year that a growing number of schools and communities around the country are holding a BLM week in schools. Our intention for the week is to bring together community members, teachers, parents, students, and union members to put forth a vision for a school system and community that truly values Black lives. This week is one action embedded in the lifelong work of creating a society and school system where all of our students, staff, and families experience respect, equity, and justice. We will focus on one theme per day: Restorative Justice and Empathy, Diversity and Globalism, Intergenerational, Black Families and Black Villages, Black Women and Unapologetically Black and Queer Affirming, Transgender Affirming and Collective Value. Velma Hamilton PTO is sponsoring the showing of The Hate U Give (See above) during the week.
