Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Dear Families,

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and our class has spent the week learning about the history and cultures of AAPI communities. Here's a look at what we covered.

Each student researched a country or community across Asia and the Pacific Islands and created a small presentation for the class. We covered everything from Diwali and Lunar New Year to the history of Pacific Islander navigation and the contributions of Asian American leaders.
