Yesterday, our faculty + staff dove into New Kid, the Newbery Award-winning graphic novel by @JerryCraft. When we pitched this idea in Feb., we had no idea how much conversations about equity and inclusion would change. Here's what we did. @SenoraRoth https://t.co/AxXhmowral

They’re here, they’re here!!!! 50+ members of our faculty & staff have asked to read @JerryCraft's New Kid for our next DEI Book Club. I know that this powerful book will help us to see, honor, and serve our students better, and become better educators and all-around humans.

Indigenous women held leadership positions before the American presidency existed—and they continue to do so today. This #WomensHistoryMonth, commit to a year round inclusion of Indigenous women in the curriculum. https://t.co/lhLgG1sIxP

@JerryCraft our New Kid book club is scheduled for April 6th from 4:00-5:15 pm EST. I promised Malcolm that I would extend an invitation to you! @fitzbtwnshelves and I can’t wait to talk about your book with teachers using student-created questions! #newkid #bookclub

On Friday a @StAnnesBelfield 4th grader asked if I could reach out to his favorite author on Twitter. On Monday this arrived in the mail! Thank you @JerryCraft for making this possible! #newkid #bookclub #elementaryteacher

@SenoraRoth, even @JerryCraft himself is excited for our book club ❤️

Over 25 #educators came together this afternoon @StAnnesBelfield school to engage in conversations around the book White Fragility by @RobinDiAngelo I’m so grateful for my colleagues who stepped into the conversation and look forward to our next DEI team sponsored #bookclub

Too often, Latinx and Black identities are presented as dichotomous. As TT highlights intersectional Black histories this week, this webinar offers stories and strategies for teaching Afro-Latinx history and doing it justice. #BlackHistoryMonth

I feel so lucky to work with such amazing colleagues! ❤️

[Ms. Fitz (she/her) @fitzbtwnshelves]

Why do we celebrate Black History Month? Why do Black people get their own month? Miss Smith & I heard these questions whispered in the hallways, so we collaborated to turn whispers into open conversations. Then we put it all out on the table, together. https://t.co/LmQEtB2VVf

Ms. Smith and I have been dreaming about this wall all year! Those silhouettes belong to strong and proud little members of our school community, leaders that we’re so excited to highlight. Their names will be the ones on walls one day. #BlackHistory2020

Spent the morning volunteering at Loaves and Fishes with this group of @StAnnesBelfield Residential Life students. The pantry was extra busy this morning, and these students worked hard for 4+ hours. They were all smiles throughout! #boardingschool #volunteer #Charlottesville
