NORTH ALLEGHENY HOSTS COMMUNITY EVENT CELEBRATING DIVERSITY
North Allegheny School District celebrated its second annual“ Celebration of Us”— a diversity event that focuses on cultural awareness and acceptance— on Nov. 30, from 6 to 8 p. m. The event was hosted by the district’ s Marcia Martin Unity / Diversity Committee and featured performances from a variety of dance and chorus groups, exhibit tables from North Allegheny student groups and community organizations, multiple food trucks and keynote speaker Lisa Washington, an Emmy-nominated host and journalist at KDKA-TV.
The district is committed to creating a culturally responsive school setting and community. Celebration of Us has become an annual tradition that encourages and empowers students and community members to focus on awareness, acceptance and celebration of diversity in all its forms. Last year’ s inaugural event was a great success, enjoyed by more than 400 attendees. This led the district to move it to a larger venue for 2016, allowing for more organizations and community members to participate in the evening’ s activities.
