VOLUNTEERS NEEDED


Talking to Children About Race: 

Why & How

Oct. 10, 2017



This year, the Newton Public Schools will provide interested elementary school families with opportunities, information and resources on talking to children about issues of race, culture, and identity. This work will be personalized to individual school communities, based upon needs and interest.

To lead this work, the district is working with Amy Behrens, a parent coach, diversity educator, and NPS parent. She will support parent volunteers from all schools to help them:
  • Identify needs specific to their schools 
  • Create opportunities, through events and activities, for face-to-face conversations and dialogue 
  • Provide families with valuable information, tools and resources

If you would like to learn more, please email Amy at amy@amybehrens.com. The first meeting for interested volunteers will be held on Tuesday, October 10th at Angier Elementary (1697 Beacon) from 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. You may RSVP to the meeting via this link: https://goo.gl/forms/UuRYZbuSgrAamM322
