As we all know, lunchtime
is an important part of the school day.
It provides us with an opportunity to refuel, socialize
and connect with our classmates.
Traditional, rectangular lunch tables may
limit the ability for all students to participate in
lunchtime conversation. This week at
Farmington Elementary, each homeroom had a
chance to test out round tables in the cafeteria.
Round table or more inclusive and everyone
sitting at the table has equal access to conversations
and can participate in their thoughts and ideas.
This promotes teamwork, friendship
and a sense of community. That is why next
week we will be holding a Boosterthon fundraiser
with the goal of raising $60,000
to purchase a round tables for our lunchroom.
This fundraiser will provide us with the
resources we need to create a more inclusive
and welcoming environment. With the
support of our family, teachers, students
and our community, let's help Farmington
"Gather around the table"
