[aisle] May is...Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

[Karen Doyle]

Our school is creating (just putting together) a website that will include
student submissions of art and poetry with the theme of Stop AAPI hate.  We
are asking for submissions starting next week and will display them in a
virtual art show on the website.  I'm not sure how it will go.  We're also
showcasing poets, artists and books created by the AAPI community for the
students to get inspiration from.
