In DPSCD we elevate and celebrate a variety of identities and heritages present in our community. Recognizing that this is not a complete list, we attempt to elevate those heritages and identities often not centered in our society. While we work diligently to integrate these heritages and identities in all we do every day, we believe that designating a time to specifically highlight these heritages and identities helps to ensure that they are visible to all. We offer you the resources associated with each month per the calendar below:
