April 1, 2001 Dear Students of Second and Third Grade Students of Rocky Branch Elementary School: I understand that your class studies communities during the year. I would like you to consider expanding that study to include people from other cultures that have or will be joining our community and how we might make them feel comfortable and accepted. You may have heard or read in the newspaper that the River Falls Community will be sponsoring the relocation of three East Indian families. All families have children that will be students in your school. We would like you to help the community understand their culture as well as recognize the cultures that presently exist in the community. Would you be interested in working with the River Falls Community Civic Group to assist these families in their relocation process? Do you have ideas how we might teach other community members about various cultures in our community? I look forward to hearing from you and would be happy to come to your classroom to speak about this project and plan together. Sincerely, John Jones, |
