Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, proudly recognized by Clark
Pleasant Community Schools, provides a wonderful opportunity for our community to
celebrate the diverse experiences and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders to American society. This month-long celebration, established in 1990 by
President George H. W. Bush, encourages us to honor their resilience, achievements,
and rich cultural heritage.
Here are ways families can commemorate this special month:
- Explore Asian American and Pacific Islander history through books, documentaries, or
online resources.
- Attend local cultural events or virtual celebrations that showcase Asian American and
Pacific Islander traditions, art, and music.
- Try new foods by cooking traditional Asian American and Pacific Islander recipes at
home or dining at local restaurants specializing in these cuisines.
- Share stories, traditions, and experiences from Asian American and Pacific Islander
cultures with family and friends.
- Support local businesses owned by members of Asian American and Pacific Islander
communities.
Let’s come together as a community to celebrate diversity and promote greater
understanding and appreciation for the multicultural tapestry of America.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! #MHAM2024 #MentalHealthMatters
I know the end of the school year is crazy for everyone, but as you attend all the events and programs, remember most of these things are possible because of fundraising efforts and volunteers. In order for us to keep doing all of this, we have to continue to raise funds. What better way to do that then a fun night of dinner and games! Join us for a good time while helping us raise money to continue to support our schools! https://clarkpleasanteducationfoundation.networkforgood.c...
