Announcements
Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Heritage Month
May
May is Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Month. It celebrates Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese immigrants to the United States on May 7, 1843. During May, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of Americans of Asian and Pacific Island descent. We encourage our APIDA students have lots of fun celebrating this month and we hope others enjoy learning about different cultural experiences! Check out our reading list below:
