Input Needed for Holiday Lessons
The IMS Equity Team would like to create informational lessons about cultural holidays that are important to our IMS community. They are looking for input on which holidays are important for various heritages or faiths and guidance to create a lesson for each. If you are interested in helping with this effort please contact Christie Santodomingo at SantodomingoC@issaquah.wednet.edu. If you don't have time to help create the lesson, they are still interested in knowing which holidays to include.
