UpLift was a Blast!
Thank You to everyone for making Uplift a success. This dance party raised money for the Curley Arts Team, and was hosted by our Art and Music teachers at Milky Way nightclub. Fun was had by all. Look for more up coming Curley Arts Team Events.
Race Dialogues
Curley K-8 is partnering for the third time with YWCA Boston to offer Dialogues on Race & Ethnicity. We will be having an open, honest, and action oriented dialogue on race, ethnicity, and community. As a group we will learn about key concepts in racial equity and use personal experiences to foster deeper understanding of race’s impact in their lives. We will also develop an action plan to build a more inclusive and equity driven school community.
At the Curley our core values are that We Care About Ourselves, We Care About Each Other, and We Care About Our School. Our community is a very diverse community so part of caring about ourselves, each other, and our school is being willing to engage in conversations about the different races and ethnicities that are apart of our community. By doing this we will build a stronger community bond by learning about and respecting the different cultures that we come from.
So come out and be apart of our courageous conversation on race and ethnicity. We are looking to engage in conversations with a diverse audience. We will have our dialogues on race and ethnicity on 11/10, 11/17, 12/1, 12/8, and 12/15 from 5:30pm – 7:30pm. All dialogues will happen at the Curley. Food and childcare will be provided for children 3 and older.
To sign up please contact, Sean Guthrie, Principal Fellow, at sguthrie@bostonpublicschools.org
