Birthday celebrations aren’t the same as they once were, but we still try to make our Comets feel special with virtual parties!! #onlinebirthday #MasonMoment @MrsBly_MECC

Missing our Ss so much. Amazed by our families navigating Remote Learning in a language they may not be fluent in. #StrongerTogether #ESL #ELL #MECCtacular @MasonSchools

Love that a couple of our families came in to teach us all about the Chinese New Year & Lantern Festival! #CharacterMI #MasonMoment

If anyone ever made you feel that your culture or your language was inferior, I’m sorry.
They were wrong.
Embrace your roots. Embrace all that makes you who you are.

When this player's hijab started falling off to reveal her hair, her opponents gathered around to provide cover while she fixed it.
This is our mood today.
When one of us needs us: We stop. We huddle up. We protect each other.
I love the soccer. I love women.

A wonderful article to foster empathy among Ss and clear up a common misunderstanding of Dia de los Muertos, Day of the Dead. #inclusiveexcellence #culturallyresponsive #masonESOL

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Next week, families from Mexico and Central and South America will begin celebrating Día de los Muertos. It's not the same as Halloween and, on its own, presents an opportunity for representation and respectful learning.
