Observances
The Governing Board
recognizes the importance of having students join together to celebrate events
of cultural or historical significance or to acknowledge the contributions of outstanding
individuals. Besides helping students to
appreciate their pluralistic heritage, holidays, ceremonies and observances can
enhance their sense of community, instill pride in our country, and contribute
to a positive school climate.
