@KristinBoydPR @MandeePuleo @JoshuaTSauer These elves do not have masks! I think they might need to be put in quarantine for safety (glass mason jar). :)

Critical convos in our Anti Bias Anti Racism development:
How does my identity impact the work that I do?
How might bias impact the work that I do?
Why is it necessary to talk about race, racism & other critical topics?

Love this learning opportunity through @Tolerance_org

These signs will be at the entrance to every school building in ⁦@mcps_va⁩. Reminders of our safety protocols.
