Recently a group of staff from the Marysville School District and The Tulalip Tribes attended the Native Voices Educator Art Academy Training at the Skokomish Community Center during the week of August 1 - 5. The group trained in equity, diversity, and the arts in relation to Native American arts and culture, earning 13 STEM clock hours and 17 equity hours, with the potential for more with classroom mentorship! The Arts Impact Team included mentors who guided us through the week with the Skokomish Tribe graciously hosting us. Representation included Cedarcrest Middle School, Totem Middle School, MPHS, Lead Native Liason-Matt Remle (not pictured), and Tulalip Tribal members.

April 20, 2022 Dear Totem Families, Our school takes pride in and celebrates the diversity of our students, families, staff, and our community. Since the start of this school year, action steps have been taken by the Marysville School District to address concerns related to meeting the needs of each student such as social-emotional and physical safety, addressing inequitable practices, and creating a sense of belonging. Part of these action steps include schools hosting “listening sessions” to bring our students, families, staff, and community members together to share their needs and concerns. We are committed to actively listening to each of your experiences. Please join us April 28 at 5pm in the TMS Library for our school’s listening session. If you are unable to attend, we will be creating a Google Survey for you to include your feedback. We look forward to your participation with us on this journey as we strive to create a sense of belonging for each student and family we serve. https://forms.gle/x5xsmB8FHt5qYYL98 Sincerely, Keri Lindsay TMS Principal
