2020 is a year like no other and has afforded
us the opportunity to reimagine our annual Book Faire. For the first
time ever, Book Faire is partnering
with our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) with the goal
of infusing our beloved school with diverse stories told by diverse
authors. Teachers, the DEIC, + parent-led affinity groups will work
together to create diverse book lists with the
goal of elevating the voices and experiences of historically
marginalized authors, characters and communities. Funds will be used
to purchase the books largely through locally-owned bookstores and to go
directly to maintaining student equity at OCS through
support of materials + supplies, field trip funds and teacher trainings
focused on anti-racism and subconscious bias awareness. With
gratitude, we humbly invite you to donate to this important initiative!
