Westpark Middle School celebrating Inclusive Schools Week
Students at Red Deer’s Westpark Middle School are learning more about their diversity and celebrating it this week.
It’s Inclusive Schools Week at the school and numerous events are taking place, offering students the chance to learn more about each other.
Grade 6 LA/Social teacher Leah Deschenes says they’re highlighting various groups in their school that showcase that diversity.
“Westpark Middle School is wonderful, we are an incredibly welcoming and diverse school in terms of everything from culture to various needs in the school,” she explains. “With Inclusive Schools Week, it’s just a way to celebrate our diversity but also what a great school culture we have. So every day, what we’re doing is we have presentations at lunch in the library.”
