[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a current diverse (African American) family at Beauvoir and our experience has been exactly the OPPPOSITE!  I don't feel like I am shoved in the corner.  I feel a part of the community.  Like any of the families there, we have worked as a part of the community.  I reach out to families and respond when other families reach out to us.  I volunteer and am at the school often.  My children also feel apart of the community.  I also add that it is an incredible, welcoming, and friendly community.  I have one child who has gone from PK through 3rd grade and one child who has done PK through K.  We have nothing but wonderful and positive feelings about the school.  And I have personnnally witnessed everyone from the head of the school to the faculty make the school welcoming to all families.  I think if you come in feeling as though you are an outsider, it is hard to shake that mentality.  Our family never felt like outsiders, so it would be pretty hard for me to feel as though someone "let" me in through a kitchen door.  [/quote]

New African - American mom here and I totally agree with this post.  We have been very welcomed not only by diverse families but school faculty and other families.  DC is enjoying Beauvoir and we all are having a very positive experience.  Regardless of race or class the key is to get involved volunteer meet other families.  This really helps.
