Living up to our Mirowitz mission, vision, and core values requires constant attention. We must be in a continuous habit of adjusting and enhancing our policies, practices, and academic program to reflect our mission and to honor the diversity of our community.  

Here’s how we’ve been doing that lately: 

1. We’re collaborating with the PTO to update resources at every grade level with material from EyeSeeMe, a locally and Black-owned book store specializing in children’s books that feature characters of color. 
2. We’re curating and developing age-appropriate Thanksgiving resources and lesson plans focused on racial justice. 
3. Our faculty has researched and adopted a framework to guide our DEI policy, pace and programmatic goals using resources from various organizations including the Learning for Justice Standards. 
4. The middle school is developing culture-based on Restorative Justice practices to foster students’ empathy and responsibility. 
5. Our va’ad chesed (student council) has added a position dedicated to ensuring that student council activities are reviewed through a DEI lens. 
6. Four members of our faculty and one board member have joined Keshet’s Leadership Project and are receiving coaching pertaining to this work.
