On Monday, E. J. Hayes Elementary kicked off Read Across America with All Are Welcome, celebrating diversity and inclusion. Ms. Raquel, a dedicated advocate for ESL students and families, joined to share the importance of access to resources. She reminded students and staff that when newcomers who don’t speak English join our community, patience and compassion help them feel a sense of belonging. Her message reinforced the power of kindness in creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all.
