Inclusion Week 2024
March 11-15, MPS hosted the first, district-wide Inclusion Week! During the week, students, staff, and even therapy dogs, Sully and Lewis, participated in learning opportunities, special events, activities and theme days throughout the week.
Themes of the week included self-acceptance, diversity, empathy, inclusion and belonging.
Inclusion Week was developed by the MPS Diversity Committee to build community and understanding for one another, our similarities and our differences. We look forward to continuing our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in our schools, classrooms, teams and organizations. Stay tuned for information and planning for Inclusion Week 2025!
