SchoolTalk's Restorative DC

12/21/2022

Happy holidays from SchoolTalk!

https://schooltalkdc.org/donate

Thank you on behalf of our staff, youth, educators, and partners! This year of re-entry has been a demonstration of incredible resilience and innovation. We have witnessed students struggling with increased social isolation, anxiety, depression, and violence, and we have witnessed teachers, with more on their plate than ever before, work to create equitable and inclusive learning environments. Your continued support has made our support of them through our InclusiveDC and RestorativeDC initiatives possible.

During the 2021-22 school year, SchoolTalk's diverse and talented InclusiveDC and RestorativeDC teams provided over 1400 school and community-based organization staff with professional development in community building, restorative justice, and skill-building for supporting students with disabilities.

In 2023 we hope we can count on you to accomplish even more. As you consider where you can make the biggest impact this holiday season, we hope you will consider becoming a recurring donor of SchoolTalk.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season!
