The K-1 Fantastic Flamingos, along with our Inner Core team, are in charge of our school-wide December Cultural Recognition Bulletin Board. Please see the message below from Ms. Emminger for ways you can help followed by the remaining months/topics and classes who are assigned to create the board.
In December, the first floor bulletin board at Ross will focus on the “Seasons of Light,” which includes (but is not limited to) the late Fall/early Winter holidays of Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, the Winter Solstice, and solar New Year.
We want to recognize and honor how Ross families celebrate the “Seasons of Light,” and we need your help!
Please email K1 teacher, Ms. Emminger (kelly.emminger@k12.dc.gov), a photo of your family celebrating one (or more) of the holidays listed above (or another light-based holiday that occurs in Fall/Winter) and we will print and post it on the bulletin board for the students and staff of Ross to view. We will also create a virtual bulletin board where parents will be able to view all the photos submitted.
In your email to Ms. Emminger (kelly.emminger@k12.dc.gov), please include the following:
- photo of your family celebrating the holiday
- name of the Ross student(s) in the photo
- name of the holiday being celebrated
- optional: a brief description that you would like to share with the community of how your family celebrates the holiday
All emails that are received by or before November 29 will be included in the bulletin board.
