Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month

We encourage all members of the Portledge School community to join us in celebrating AAPI Heritage Month and embracing the diversity that enriches our school environment. Together, let's honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire the future as we recognize the invaluable contribution of the AAPI community.
Lower School Division: May 3rd
Our Lower School will be celebrating AAPI Heritage Month through a series of engaging activities aimed at fostering a deeper appreciation for diversity and literacy among our K-5 students. What we have planned is to introduce students to a variety of picture books authored and illustrated by AAPI creators. Through these captivating stories, we aim to spark interest in reading while also highlighting the rich tapestry of AAPI cultures. By exploring these texts, students will not only discover the beauty of different traditions but also uncover the delightful surprises hidden within the pages. We had a special assembly that took place on May 3rd, fostering a love for reading and cultural appreciation among our Lower School students.
