Here's an introduction to the story of THE WORDS WE SHARE 😎

Thank you to the Bridge PAC for these amazing books. A great way to remember staff who have left our school but who will always be Bridge Bulldogs. #rtla38@bridgebulldogs

Very telling info here from @PENamerica, who tracked school book bans during the 2021-2022 school year.
What do the most banned picture books have in common?
"Most feature a protagonist of color or characters who reflect the LGBTQ+ experience." https://t.co/RHHepFiun1

Thank you for sharing @DaveAlexRoberts thoughtful land acknowledgment written by elementary aged students. Such an engaging and powerful way for students to personally connect and understand the importance of land acknowledgments @bridgebulldogs#rtla38
Promised teacher librarians at @bctla I’d post this land acknowledgment students wrote on their own. I forgot which school, so if these are your students please reply and remind me! But this is so thoughtful and meaningful.
