MES Community - We ask for your help. Students and families of our community are in pain, are angry, and deserve to be heard. We want to do our part to bring our children into this critical discussion of diversity and inclusion. Tomorrow, some of our families will be joining the Oakland Kids March at 2pm outside of Fairyland (meet at the Fairyland boot and march around the lake). We would love for you to join in order to 1.) create a space for our children and families to ...express their feelings and 2.) to bolster and amplify the broader activism of this moment to provoke and make meaningful change. If you are comfortable joining in the march, please bring your masks and maintain social distance. Thank you!
