Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action
Beginning in Seattle in the Fall of 2016, the Black Lives Matter at School educational movement has informed educators in over 20 cities, including Washington, DC. Seaton has made the pledge this year to implement a schoolwide Black Lives Matter at School Plan of Action. We will use a comprehensive and developmental approach that informs staff and educates students. We hope to empower students to contribute to a community that thrives in all subject areas and beyond the school walls. We will honor Black lives in our morning announcements, book read-alouds, math lessons, social-emotional activities, and more.
Semana de acción de Black Lives Matter
Comenzando en Seattle en el otoño de 2016, el movimiento educativo Black Lives Matter at School ha informado a educadores en más de 20 ciudades, incluida Washington, DC. Seaton se ha comprometido este año a implementar un Plan de Acción de Black Lives Matter at School en toda la escuela. Utilizaremos un enfoque integral y de desarrollo que informe al personal y eduque a los estudiantes. Esperamos empoderar a los estudiantes para que contribuyan a una comunidad que prospere en todas las materias y más allá de las paredes de la escuela. Honraremos las vidas negras en nuestros anuncios matutinos, lecturas de libros en voz alta, lecciones de matemáticas, actividades socioemocionales y más.
