February's all school meeting was a bit different than our typical get together. There were jokes of course, but we also talked about diversity, equity, inclusion, and belongingness. Students shared what these concepts mean to them and why they are important at school. At EOC we strive to forge caring relationships, embrace individuality, and foster a strong sense of belongingness!
