We're here to raise culturally conscious kids.
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.
