At
Woodland Star School we have embraced a Kinyarwandan greeting –
“Muraho”. “Muraho” is much more than just ‘hello’, but has a deeper
translation of “I celebrate your presence”. This word, “Muraho”, is a
key expression in the story-language of our school. As our
story unfolds, we want to embrace ‘muraho’ in every step of it. The
structures, values, and policies that shape Woodland Star help us found
relationships that celebrate the diversity and the unique gifts and
talents within our community.
