Social Justice / Arts Integration with Mrs. Libby
The following is re-published as posted by Mrs. Libby on Instagram:
My Kindergarten through 4th grade students are continuing with our Social Justice/Arts Integration work with a "Call for Action Bookmark Project." (SJ elements 5 and 6: Awareness Raising and Social Action). We pledge to donate a copy of Michael Tyler's book “The Skin you Live In” to all Elementary Schools in Marin County.
Students are designing bookmarks painted in their lovely skin tones of the human rainbow as well as a creative description of their skin: “I have milky chocolate pudding skin. How about you?” Bookmarks will be tucked into the donated books along with a copy of the “Skin Unit" colleagues and I have developed. Books will be delivered in “Inclusive Language” totes. #changemakers #acceptance #artsintegration #k12ArtChat
Special thanks to Mrs. Libby and all Bacich teachers for this important work with our students.
WHY GIVE NOW TO OUR SCHOOLS?
This Video explains in 1 minute why donations are critical! Potentially $500,000 could be cut from our district budget, which affects every Bacich and Kent student.

SPRING AUCTION WISH LIST — Can you help?
KIK is already hard at work trying to secure some great items for the Spring Auction. In this uncertain time, we are trying to avoid asking businesses for gift card donations. If you are personally willing to donate a gift card or item from our wish list, we would really appreciate it.
While we always like to support our local businesses and restaurants, we have also included an Amazon Wish List for gift cards and other items. Thank you for considering a donation—the money we raise for KIK helps ALL students!
Email events@kikschools.org for donations/questions.
