We are a collective of parents, neighbors, alumni and allies united to bring more Representation, Equity, Anti-Racism and Literary diversity into every corner of our Scotch Plains-Fanwood public schools' lessons, libraries and leaders. 

We are here to work alongside our incredible teachers, administration and officials to bring courageous and culturally responsive change to our classrooms. Together, we are all here to raise the next generation of helpers.

The need for change is as R.E.A.L. as our pledge to make it happen, together. 
Our Main Focus:

Libraries



We aim to bring more stories by and about people of color, anti-racism and a wider representation of voices into our school libraries and classrooms.


Lessons



We strive to integrate more culturally responsive lessons and anti-racism education into our schools' curricula.


Leadership



We want all our students to see themselves reflected in their teachers, administration and support staff.
