High school students from District 196, in collaboration with the Equity and Inclusion and the English Language Learner departments, are hosting an event aimed at bringing the community together.

The “One District, Many Voices” event is a reflection of the district’s mission of providing a learning environment that supports student connectedness and inclusion. Over the years, schools have held their own multicultural and multilingual events, but this year, students and staff joined forces to expand the celebration.

The event features engaging panels on social justice, equality and cultural proficiencies. Get a taste for other cultures with food from around the world, and learn more at language sharing tables. There will also be a cultural fashion show, discussions with local authors and activities for people of all ages.

The event is free; however donations will gladly be accepted. All proceeds will go directly to District 196 students to support their continued work in diversity and inclusion.

If you would like more information, please contact Rashelle Redmon at  Rashelle.Redmon@district196.org, or call 651-423-7825.

Students may check out print books from any of the Dakota County Libraries with their new digital library card (196+student ID and a self-selected password).  In addition, students have access to a homework helpline, digital eBooks and audiobooks and many research databases.  A general overview of the program can be found here: https://www.smore.com/nd2m3
