Families of Color Meetings


The Families of Color (FoC) group is meeting on March 7th,  April 4th, May 2nd, and June 6th from 6:30-7:30 in the at Hilton Central School District's Staff Development Room at 225 West Avenue. The group’s mission is to bring together a strong collective of parents, concerned family members, and allies passionate about building a racially and economically just community for children in the Hilton Central School District. This space is one for meeting regularly to share insights and address issues we have encountered in our children’s schools, providing social support, and establishing meaningful connections with one another. In order to ensure this space is welcoming to all families of color in HCSD schools (including folks with disabilities, immigrants, LGBTQ people, people of different religious backgrounds, etc), we leave racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and other “isms” at the door. By coming together, we form a team of support that allows us to lean on and learn from each other, as well as advocate for the changes we want to see in our local schools and community.
