FORJ January Updates

21 Day Racial Equity Habit Challenge

This month, check out Dr. Eddie Moore Jr’s “21 Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge”©: https://www.eddiemoorejr.com/21daychallenge/#act

As families, we are often working on doing for our kids or others. This challenge is a chance to center ourselves in the work, learning and action against racism. It’s something you can start any time – it’s not date specific and the articles, podcasts and activities can be reviewed at your own pace.

FORJ Book Club

If your child is in 3rd-5th grade and would like to join our FORJ Book Club, where we read and discuss diverse books (over Zoom) for this age range, please email secretary@lepto.org to be added to the book club email list!
