From NNHS FORJ:
I am writing to you on behalf of the planning committee of Families Organizing for Racial Justice (FORJ) at Newton North. We would like to invite parents whose children will be starting at Newton North next year to attend our general meeting next week, to see the work we do at North, and with the hope that you will join us next year.
The theme of our FORJ NNHS General Meeting on March 24th at 7.30pm will be: ‘RACIAL JUSTICE WORK AT NNHS: WHERE ARE WE NOW? WHERE ARE WE GOING?’
The agenda will include:
- Principal Henry Turner, who will give an overview (including an update on grading and the C.A.R.E fund)
- Kathy Lopes, who will discuss her role as Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Newton Public Schools
- Michele Leong, who, along with student representatives, will speak about the Human Rights Council at NNHS
- Special activity led by Renande Loayza, FORJ NNHS Planning Committee
There will be opportunities to ask questions. Please RSVP here to receive the zoom link for the meeting. We also have a website, Instagram feed and Facebook page (links below), if anyone is interested in following us. Thanks so much, and we hope to see you next week!
