ALL MONTH LONG :

Unity Wreath-Students can write their names and trace their hands on piece of cloth.  At end of the month, all the hands will be joined together in a circle and hang outside Wynee’s Bistro signifying that even though we are cut from a different cloth, we are all united.

Family Tree Door Decs- These will be pre-made door-decorations for students to take and design themselves. You can add pictures of family and friends to show your family tree.

These activities will be at all events.
