November is Native American Heritage Month! We are proud to honor and celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native American communities. We'd like to start by acknowledging the importance of the land we stand on the traditional lands of the Peoria, Potawatomi, Myaamia, Sioux, and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) People, and pay our respect to elders both past and present. This land acknowledgment reminds us of the deep-rooted connections that Native American communities have with the land we call home. It is a humble recognition of the historical and ongoing contributions of indigenous peoples. Throughout November and beyond, take time to learn about and appreciate the incredible heritage of Native Americans. Together, we can build a more inclusive and culturally diverse world. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #CulturalDiversity #LandAcknowledgment #Inclusivity #BeliveBelongBecomeD91 #FPSD91

📚📢 No School Tomorrow! 🚫🏫 Hey everyone! 🌟 Guess what?

Instead, enjoy the extra time to relax, read a good book, practice a hobby, or maybe even help out with some chores at home (your parents would love that! 😉). 🏡 Remember, we're always here to support your learning journey, and Parent-Teacher Conferences are just one way we do that. 📚👪 Have a fantastic day off, recharge, and we'll see you back at school on Friday!

No school today in observance of #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Today, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day! On this day, we recognize and honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous communities. It's a day to reflect on the resilience, strength, and wisdom passed down through generations. Let's use this opportunity to learn about the diverse Indigenous cultures that have shaped our world and continue to do so.

Let's stand in solidarity, support Indigenous-led initiatives, and work towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #HonoringTraditions #CulturalHeritage #Solidarity #EducationMatters #BeliveBelongBecomeWithD91 # FPSD91

In 1968, Congress passed a law allowing the President to proclaim the week that includes September 15th and 16th as Hispanic Heritage Week, dedicated to celebrating the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. However, it wasn't until 1988, when Congress amended this law, that the President was officially authorized to establish Hispanic Heritage Month, extending from September 15th to October 15th each year. These dates were selected to coincide with the independence days of various Latin American countries, such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Chile. [Source: Library of Congress] Let's embrace and honor the rich culture, history, and contributions of the community! Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx Heritage Month, emphasizing the importance of inclusive terminology that reflects our diverse identities in an ever-evolving world. The history of this month and the evolution of our language around it, mirrors the growth, resilience, and unity our community has displayed.
