🎉✨ #D87United: September is United in Belonging!
This month, we’re celebrating belonging in D87—and what better place to start than in the classroom? 🏫💛
In Mr. Hopper’s class at Irving, students showcased belonging by sharing their poetry, solving puzzles, and creating “Be You” art projects together. It’s moments like these that bring about connection and a sense of belonging both in and outside the classroom!💙
Stay tuned as we highlight more ways belonging shines across D87 this month!
