Welcome to International Mindedness Moments!
This regular segment will feature an activity you can do with your child to reinforce International Mindedness learning at home and to take action!
IB states: “An internationally minded person is open-minded about the common humanity of all people and accepts and respects other cultures and beliefs. The internationally minded person takes action through discussion and collaboration to help build a better and peaceful world.”
As we say goodbye to November, please enjoy this Native American Heritage Month Video made by Ms. Biagi. Shout out to 5th grade for their work with land acknowledgments and highlighting individuals!

Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15 through October 15.
As we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month at Swigert, we wanted to share a video featuring Swigert students and staff celebrating Hispanic and LatinX individuals they admire and the IB attributes these individuals embody. Check out the video here)!
Help us bring Hispanic Heritage Month conversations home. You can ask your child:
-Who is a Hispanic or LatinX person from history or from today that you admire?
-Why do you admire this person? Which IB attribute do they demonstrate?
