PTA DEI Committee

The PS 107 PTA Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee aims to work collaboratively and actively with staff, families and students to celebrate diversity and support equity and inclusion within PS 107.

DEI BOOKLIST

The DEI Booklist spreadsheet was created by the PTA DEI Committee to help families find children's books that feature diverse identities, cultures and perspectives. It's a living, growing list that will hopefully be a resource for families at PS 107 for years to come! We welcome suggestions for the list via the Google Form on the spreadsheet. 


More About The PTA DEI Committee

In addition to monthly meetings, our PTA DEI committee likes to keep in touch between meetings with our WhatsApp Group, email threads, and meet-ups.

Our committee work revolves around these three pillars:

  • Community

  • Visibility

  • Education

Some examples of our DEI Committee's work are:

  • Heritage and History Month Celebrations

  • Creating, distributing and analyzing a DEI survey to the families at PS 107

  • Assisting PS 107 in diversifying its school and classroom libraries

  • Connecting with DEI committees at other D15 Elementary Schools

  • Supporting the work of the PS 107 Staff DEI Committee and Student Equity Team
