DEI Update
As previously announced, Associate Head of School for Elementary & Middle Learning Nikki Torres has been appointed Springmont's DEI Coordinator. Because work on issues of diversity, equity and inclusivity is a community effort, she will be joined by a committee of faculty and staff including Primary Assistant Sianda Ruiz, Toddler Teacher Toshia Johnson, Primary Teacher Laura Cassell, Elementary Teacher Patricia Jordan, Middle School Teacher Gretchen Stamps, Toddler/Primary Division Head Cara Friedline, and Head of School Jon Alden. They will work together to set goals, gather ideas, questions and concerns, and steer our continued efforts to put issues of diversity, equity and inclusivity at the center of our work with children and families. Parents should mark their calendars for “Talking about Race at Home,” a workshop with iChange Collaborative that will take place virtually on Tuesday, December 1, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
