About

Our Mission

Falcon Families for Equity and Justice (FFEJ) is a group of caregivers committed to learning, growing, and working in solidarity together.

Our mission statement is a work-in-progress and will change and evolve as our group learns and grows.

Our Goals

  • Provide a safe and brave space for community members to share their experiences and concerns surrounding racism, discrimination, inequity, exclusion, and injustice.
  • Sponsor events to build a relational community, bring awareness to equity and promote active engagement.
  • Provide educational opportunities for our caregivers, teachers, staff, and students by hosting opportunities for learning about antiracism, equity and justice.
  • Evaluate concerns related to inclusion, equity, discrimination, and racism in our school and school district; and advocate for any needed changes.
  • Provide volunteer opportunities for students, families, teachers, and staff to extend our services and build a more critically conscious community.

Our Committees

  • Community Action: Sponsor community events that bring awareness to equity and antiracism. This allows for community building, awareness, and activism.
  • Education: Help provide opportunities to learn more as parents, staff, teachers, and students about antiracism and equity. This group will plan various learning opportunities such as: book studies, bringing in speakers, hosting workshops, movie screenings, media circles, etc.
  • Volunteer Service: Provide opportunities for students, families, teachers, and staff to extend our service to the community. These opportunities will work towards providing opportunities with a social justice lens.
  • Outreach and Communication: Responding to emails and requests, updating the website and Facebook page, sharing updates with the PTA and school board, and collaborating and building connections with people in the district and community.
