With these funds, our school's beautiful diversity will be represented through mounted flags that represent their families' home countries.  Our 7th-12th grade school in South Philadelphia is unlike any other school. Our student body is Laoasian, Cambodian, Italian, Lebanese, Pakistani, Irish, Vietnamese, Mexican, Chinese, Guatemalan, Sierra Leonian, Jamaican, Algerian, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Ecuadorian, and from many more homes!

Our students and staff unite under our motto, "One Team." We wear our One Team shirts on special occasions like during Spirit Week, and even on some very difficult occasions, such as the day after one of our own children was shot and killed due to senseless gun violence last year. And in conjunction with our One Team spirit here at Thomas High School, we proudly embrace our differences and offerings as a result of our families' unique histories. Additionally, we embrace our students in marginalized communities such as LGBT and Special Education, whose flags we also want to fly high.

A country flag and mounting kit will cost approximately $100 per fixture. With your investment, our school will become a more colorful, inclusive, and culturally representative space that our young people deserve.
