Every Family 
Has a Story to Tell-
“We All Celebrate Differently”
Families: Invite us to your family celebration!
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, we continue to help our students grow in International Mindedness. We want our students to be open-minded and learn that we all have similarities and differences and that is what makes our world so beautiful.
At interim pick-up, a few brave parents allowed Mrs. Wammes to record them for our morning announcements, sharing their answers to the question, “What makes a person successful?” When we saw students so excited to see parents on announcements, we realized we needed to bring more parent and family voices into our school.
What better way of bringing our families together than during the holidays? We ask that some time from now until January 15, your family record a FlipGrid video (directions are below) to share how your family celebrates together. You may record the family decorating, baking, celebrating a special meal, volunteering, or any other unique way you celebrate together. We want our students to see that although we are similar in so many ways, our differences are beautiful too!
Please include the whole family in the video if possible. We want students to see that families also came in all shapes and sizes.
Thank you for inviting us in for your family celebrations!
Email Mrs. Wammes ([email protected]) with any questions
