It is Multilingual Learner Advocacy Month!
Multilingual learners are among the fastest-growing student populations in our school systems. They represent a diverse group of cultures and languages, contributing unique perspectives and strengths to the educational environment. However, despite their growing numbers, these students often face challenges such as limited access to high-quality language programs and resources. Advocacy during this month aims to address these disparities and promote equitable educational opportunities for all learners. Thank you for recognizing these amazing learners here at West Lee Middle School!
