April is Celebrating Diversity Month, an opportunity to recognize and honor the diversity that surrounds us. It is important to remember that diversity is more than race. It includes ethnic, socioeconomic, religious, and cultural backgrounds and various lifestyles, experiences, abilities, and interests.
 
In addition to discussions which will naturally occur during the school day, the West Shore School District will be Celebrating Diversity in April.  We encourage our school community to join us!
