Hello everyone, I’m thrilled to share that we addressed the Chesterfield County School Board yesterday, and it was a tremendous success! 🙏✨ Thank you to every single person who has supported this effort — ✔️ everyone who signed the petition, ✔️ everyone who submitted written comments, and ✔️ everyone who came out to speak in person. Your voices, presence, and belief in this cause made a powerful impact. The board was attentive, respectful, and genuinely engaged — and that momentum is because of YOU. I also want to share a recent article that highlights our efforts and the broader importance of recognizing Diwali in our schools. It beautifully captures why this matters for so many families in our community: 🔗 Read the article here: https://www.vpm.org/news/2025-11-13/diwali-chesterfield-public-schools-culture-holiday-gandhi Thank you all once again for standing with us.
