Harmony in Diversity: Reflecting on Gilmour’s Culture Fair

Dear Gilmour Parents,

In case you missed it, last month we shared an exciting glimpse into Gilmour’s inaugural cultural fair. Our Culture Fair served as a platform for sharing the vibrant tapestry of traditions, beliefs, and experiences that make up the Gilmour family. We’re thrilled to extend an invitation for you to collaborate with you students for next year’s fair!

Showcasing culture is essential in creating an inclusive and understanding community. Your involvement in shaping the Culture Fair for next year is invaluable. Together, we can make it an even more enriching experience for our community. Let’s continue to embrace the beauty of our differences and create a more inclusive Gilmour in an effort to foster empathy and deepen our appreciation of one another. 

To delve deeper into understanding diversity, I’ve curated a selection of articles below. These readings offer practical strategies and a wealth of additional materials to promote inclusivity. Engaging with these materials will play a crucial role in helping our students gain a deeper respect and understanding for different cultures and become more culturally sensitive students, thus living our GA Mission and embracing this year’s DEI Theme: Belonging through Cultural Connections.

In unity,

JaiCynthia Farmer
