“Being a folk arts school means intentionality around rituals that bring the school together and building and affirming community. Ritual Calendar days are a chance for the school to say who we are and what we value. They help create a school identity and take pride in traditions both in and outside of the school walls.”

Many Points of View Day
On this day, we emphasize that some people’s voices and stories are often overlooked and that we should pay attention especially to those voices and stories.
