[quote=Anonymous]Good morning!

Our fourth-grader was accepted into the FCPS AAP program and, since she started participating, we've noted she is one of few African/African-American students at her center school in the central county area. We would love both to expand her friends circle and our parent network with other AAP families raising children who identify as African/African-American. This outreach is not limited to families of fourth-grade students; all ages are welcome.

We have a few friends with same-age African-American students attending other nearby centers, but we would love to connect with others. Now that the weather is improving, I like to gauge interest in an outdoor activity or event to bring our children and families together.

In honesty, I've mulled over posting this for some time, but grew concerned when some forums grew increasingly divisive in their discussion of minority student enrollment. This post is NOT focused on who should/shouldn't be enrolled, how children are/were selected, etc. Rather, this post is designed to foster community among positive families now enrolled and focused on providing a positive experience for their children of African/African-American descent.

Also, apologies if this subject has been previously posted. As I didn't see anything similar at a quick glance, I thought I'd post a fresh/current thread. Certainly, if an online community or forum area already exists, please let me know!

Thanks!
