In a remarkable international education initiative, students from New Zealand's Tauranga Intermediate School, the Coast Salish Tsatsu Stalqayu (Coastal Wolf Pack), and the Richmond School District came together in a celebration of heritage and unity.
This transformative event, centered on Indigenous arts, stories, and identity, served as a unique platform for students to not only share their cultural richness but also to learn from each other. It deepened their understanding of diverse cultures, reinforcing connections and promoting unity among students from around the world.
Our district stands committed to offering students diverse and inclusive educational experiences that expand their horizons and foster a shared appreciation for the global community. The bonds and friendships formed during this cultural exchange undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on our students’ lives, nurturing a sense of global citizenship and an enduring commitment to unity and diversity.
