Every Student Counts- Excellence for All: Exploring Immigrant Stories
Arlington AAUW is pleased to work with the leadership team once again at Arlington Community High School to offer our once-a-month lunch bunch. In keeping with Arlington Public Schools commitment to asset-based thinking, this year’s theme will center around Exploring Immigrant Stories. We will use the Learning for Justice framework and continue our efforts to provide highly relevant speakers who will share their own personal stories of resilience when overcoming challenges related to moving within the United States or immigration. Our kickoff for the 22-23 school year will take place the week of the 19th of September.
AAUW members Susan Senn and Mary Beth Pelosky will be seeking addl AAUW funds in the hopes of securing a copy of the book Solito for each girl. This is the story of an El Salvadorean boy who journeyed to the United States by himself at age 9.
