School Wide Diversity Activity at FGC

On Friday December 13th, all staff and students took part in a diversity activity where students explored their own identity and culture as well as those of their classmates.  After a teaching and brainstorming session, each student identified five personal facets and displayed their finished project in the commons area alongside their homeroom class.  Students did a fantastic job of learning and working together as they explored cultural similarities and differences.
