Diversity Bookbags

Overview

With funding from the Lexington Education Foundation and the PTA bookbags were created for each classroom to be sent home with each child on a rotating basis throughout the school-year. The bookbags include books, tapes, activities and recipes illustrating various cultures, family types, and aspects of mobility and disability found in our School communities. The bookbags are intended to strengthen connections among our school populations and to build an atmosphere of tolerance and respect for cultural, racial,ability, and family structure diversity.
