This year, Miquon sent six staff members to St. Louis for the 2023 NAIS People of Color Conference, including Head of School Geetha Holdsworth who made it on stage for the PoCC Heads` Summit! We encourage you to watch the video highlights of the important work done at this annual event. It is inspiring!

Last chance to register for tomorrow night`s Alumni Panel: https://miquonschool.org/Info-Night-Registration. Here’s what last year’s panelists had to say: Fueled my curiosity and passion for learning; taught me to do a thorough and deep dive; drove my passion for science; made me a leader; gave me an understanding of the value of community and importance of each person in creating a whole.

The theme work we tackle in 5th and 6th grade covers some very serious topics--everything from immigration and civil rights to resistance and sustainability. If you`re curious about how we handle these sometimes weighty topics, plan to attend Information Night this coming Thursday, November 30th at 6:30 pm. You`ll hear from recent alumni and current teachers about how Miquon sets students up for success in the upper grades and life. RSVP to admissions@miquon.org. #themiquonschool #proudtobemiquon
Happy Thanksgiving! On this day, we like to reiterate our acknowledgement that the land upon which we gather is part of the traditional territory of the Lenape. We also encourage our community to support the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania in their efforts for state recognition. Learn more at https://www.lenape-nation.org/.
Last week in art class, our 3rd and 4th grade children created cards for the organization #caringforfriends which will be included with food deliveries to seniors and families in the Greater Philadelphia area. The children did a great job sharing positivity, kindness, and artistry through their artwork. #childrenlearnbydoing #proudtobemiquon #themiquonschool
Rather than taking playground politics as status quo, Miquon students recently used a Good of the School assembly to address some issues they see happening in the community. Led by our sixth graders, GOTS is a school-wide meeting where children voice concerns they’d like to be addressed by the larger community. Solutions are brainstormed together, and a few are selected as the way forward with an agreement by all students to do the hard work. The meeting ends with a round of spoken appreciations. Similar agreements are made at the classroom level in Good of the Group. GOTS and GOTG help children to build skills that will serve them throughout life: careful listening, balanced response, building consensus, and thinking of the greater good. #foreveramiquonkid #goodoftheschool
