All Are Welcome Here
DK-3rd grade teachers received copies of the book "All Are Welcome," along with an activity and enough skin toned Colors of the World crayons for their entire class to utilize. The Midland County Inclusion Alliance (MCIA) MPS Parent Engagement team that brought this wonderful resource to you also prepared a video to accompany the book and activity. This video is well done and really drives home the message the MCIA Parent Engagement Team is working to emphasize across the district. That, ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!
