Great River School's iRACE day - a student-planned social justice event
The iRACE summit is an important school event, taking place on March 30th, in which we explore the process of opening productive dialogues about race and racism and educating our students about important racial issues in our community, country and the world. We know that some students don’t see this day as mandatory, but we want to encourage you to encourage your child to not only attend but to make the most of this unique opportunity. We would also like to encourage you to reflect with your student after iRACE on the evening of March 30th.
We also need a few additional things from our community:
- We need as many students and families as possible to bring dishes for our potluck lunch. Be sure to label ingredients for students and staff with allergies. Bring food straight to the kitchen!
- In order to reduce our waste from that day, we are asking each student to bring a mess kit to eat off of.
- We also are still in need of parent volunteers for either lunch or the whole day— Click here to sign up!!! if you have questions about signing up, please contact Adam Koehler (adam.r.koehler@gmail.com)
- We are also looking for families to donate rice cookers just for the day. (contact Adam adam.r.koehler@gmail.com)
Thanks!
The iRACE Planning Team
