Welcome to the Exhibition, Parents!

Dear Parents of Exhibition Students...

In case you would like more information on how the Exhibition is working here at the school, please view one of the presentations below (Spanish and English) for an overview of the important dates and process that the students will be going through.  In addition, the letter that was sent regarding exhibition has been embedded in case you would like to review that information.

As always we look forward to your support and help throughout our exhibition process!

We have a topic!



What a great morning! The students from each of the classes presented their ideas for this year's exhibition topic.  Every class gave a 3-5 minute presentation on the topic of their choice for the whole grade level to consider.  Each class presented the idea, why it was important, the impact the topic had globally, and ideas for action from the students.

This year the presentations were:
5A: Sports
5B: Conflict
5C: Creativity
5D: Education
5E: Discrimination

All of the presentations were very thorough and interesting and after a difficult vote, the grade level chose DISCRIMINATION as their topic of interest for this year!

Now we will begin thinking about the types of discrimination that we encounter in our personal contexts and how we can take action to stop discrimination from happening around us.

Do you have some ideas about what types of discrimination you are interested in learning more about?  In what ways could you use the topics from our vote to explore more about discrimination?  Are there any "hidden" types of discrimination that we should inquire about?

Looking forward to your thoughts!
