Welcome to Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy!
Saturday, August 28th, 2010
Welcome Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy students and families! I am excited to be a part of a beautiful community as I enter my second year as principal. This year’s theme is “Together We’re Better!”
We are most effective as a team when we compliment each other without embarrassment and disagree without fear – Unknown Author
This year as we come together we will be both learners and leaders in helping our children be successful. We have a fantastic consistent staff and they are working fervently to make it a great year. We need every member of our community to work together and participate in helping create the best justice learners and leaders of the 21st century. I encourage each of you to find a way to get involved. There is something here for everyone.
Since the day this school year began on August 16 and before, teachers and staff have been taking the opportunity to reflect and create an image for our indoor paper mural – T.E.A.M. The images and words express ways the staff contribute to our school community. All students will be asked to contribute an image and words to this mural. Please plan a time as a family to read the school’s newsleter and regularly review the documents that we send home in the Wednesday folders.
Peace, Ms. Velasco
