Each Washington family experiences our school community differently. How do our racial and ethnic identities impact these experiences? What might we want to change, as individuals, and as a community? We'll use sharing circles (like the ones our students use), affinity groups, and community discussion to share lessons learned and ideas for moving forward together.
