[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of wrong information on this board that makes me think that most of the posters are not actually involved in the school.

For what it is worth, we are a black family at the school and don't feel isolated and nor do our kids. But for OP and other posters who have said that they don't really know any black families well, maybe you should try changing that. Every class my kid has been in has had 3-4 black kids in it. I know all of those parents pretty well. I've also met a lot of the black families in other grades. Not so hard to do given the many parent meetings, coffees, volunteer days, drop offs/pick ups, birthday parties...

For those that have suggested making the black families do outreach/recruitment that sounds like a great way to make families feel welcome! In any event, must not know that one of the many black families was co-leading recruitment for the school last year. [/quote]

I did know that one of the co-chairs for recruitment last year is Black, and I know that two of the three co-chairs for recruitment this year are black.  However, I don't think think that last year's co-chair was at every open house or every DCPS/MOTH event - that's asking a lot of one person.  I'd love to see different and multiple AA parents at the events - so it doesn't look like there is one AA family at the school.[/quote]
