At Bush Hill Elementary, we deeply value and celebrate the rich diversity that makes our school community so vibrant and special. Last year, we embarked on a wonderful initiative to visually represent this pride by displaying flags in our cafeteria, showcasing the many countries our students, families, and staff are connected to.
The response to our flag display was truly heartwarming! It was inspiring to see the visual representation of our global community and the conversations it sparked among our students and families. In fact, our collection of flags grew so quickly that we've temporarily taken them down to allow for a thorough cleaning of the cafeteria walls.
This also presents us with an exciting opportunity to reimagine and expand our display in a more sustainable way. To truly showcase the breadth of our community's connections, we are planning to acquire a larger number of smaller flags. This will allow us to represent even more countries and create a more comprehensive and visually impactful display.
To help us rebuild and enhance this beautiful representation of our school's diversity, we are currently creating an Amazon wish list containing the smaller flags we need. Your support in helping us purchase these new flags will be deeply appreciated and will allow us to continue celebrating the many backgrounds that enrich our school.
We are excited to bring this display back in a new and improved way and look forward to your continued partnership in fostering an inclusive and celebratory environment for all our students.
Amazon Wishlist link attached for those who would like to purchase a flag.
