These lanterns, created by families and survivors of Oct. 27th and 10.27 Healing Partnership staff, are in honor of the Monterey Park community and @mpkhope on the first commemoration of the Lunar New Year tragedy. We stand with you.

May their memories be for a blessing.

Last week, students from SAHS, along with staff members Cat DiPasquale, JoAnne Townsend, & Nick Haberman with @LIGHT_init attended the Eradicate Hate Student Summit.

It was a powerful time of collaboration and imagining better possibilities together with @EradicateHate_.

Just about everyone in the Shaler community turned out tonight for this amazing event celebrating #143Day and finding ways to imagine, care, and connect with their neighbors during #RemakeDays. Wow! So much #kindness, joy, and learning.
