JPP will be hosting a virtual conversation facilitated by Jeffco Public Schools Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Specialists (Please take a look at what Jeffco Schools Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Team has put together as a Resource). We believe one of the best ways we can be an ally/accomplice is to listen, become informed and educated, and support. We hope you can join us! Please note, this will replace our Create and Connect next week.

Please join us on Tuesday, June 23rd from 4:30-6 pm virtually through Zoom.
