Dear Families,

As we head into the week of the Inauguration, as I do every year (and did every year since I was a principal), I have asked as many staff members to show the inauguration and explain the peaceful transition of power.  This is also an historic inauguration of the first woman, first Black person, and first person of South Asian descent to become the Vice President of the United States. Our disposition is to teach the roles and workings of our government and to have each child see representations of themselves in the highest possible stations of leadership and governmental service roles. We continue to lean into our conversations about Civics, civil discourse and engagement, and uphold an inclusive and safe school system for all of our students. 

MLK, Jr. Day has always been an important one in my Nolin family—mostly because for the past decade we have spent it in Natick at the MLK program at Wilson, followed by acts of service in accordance with National Service Day, (with lunch at Minado to follow). Of course this year looks different as we will be at home and I will facilitate small groups from my home, but what does not change is—celebrating the ideals of this man who envisioned a future where all of our children were included, uplifted and had equity life opportunities.

I hope you'll join us for the annual MLK celebration on Monday. Click on the image below to view the event page and register to attend (Zoom meeting details will be emailed to registrants.)
