What is DEI?
Each month in the Newsclik, we feature a Community Connections feature to help bring our cultures together, actively seeking to understand our complex and rich identities and leaning into topics of diversity and inclusion. We encourage you to share your family's holidays and/or cultural traditions with our community for a future newsletter. Please email information, pictures, and/or videos to inclusion@mcauliffeptsa.org If you prefer, we are happy to write up the information with guidance from you. We'd love to hear from you!
Check out our Cultural Calendar with recommended book lists. If you have book recommendations to add to our lists or suggestions to improve our cultural calendar, please email us at inclusion@mcauliffeptsa.org
