At Hazel Dell Elementary in the @vancouverpublicsc At Hazel Dell Elementary in the @vancouverpublicschools, inclusion isn’t just talked about. It’s lived. Through the Conley Crew, fifth grade student leaders are building real connection through music, art, and creative movement. They paint together. They make music together. They move as one community. Joy is shared. Confidence grows. Belonging deepens. This is what social inclusion looks like at the elementary level, and we can’t wait to see more schools across Washington create spaces where every student feels seen, valued, and connected. #ChooseToInclude #UnifiedGeneration #InclusionInAction
