VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism
Please join a monthly affinity group for VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism.
The affinity group will read and discuss various texts throughout the year in order to address our own unconscious biases and to take an active role in fighting white supremacy in our schools, communities, and ourselves.
There will be reading to complete before each session, and families are strongly encouraged to make a commitment to attend as many sessions as possible.

 Check the Lost & Found
Help us reunite lost items with their owners. You can help by labeling all of your children’s items. This includes water bottles, sweatshirts, jackets, gloves, and anything that can be separated from your child. Please look at the picture and if you see any clothing items that look familiar, send the family liaison an email with your child’s name and a description of the item, and Zakkiyya will try to get the two back together again.
Healthy Smiles!
The Cambridge Healthy Smiles Program visited the first, second, and third-grade classrooms at Tobin Montessori School this week. Marlena Wilson, the school dental hygienist, lead a classroom discussion on oral health and how to keep your teeth healthy at school. The students were very excited and engaged talking about their teeth! The program will be providing toothbrush bags and water bottles for these students and will be sending a dental survey to parents to ask questions about their dental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
