Did you know that there are examples of biased words that are scattered throughout the English vocabulary? Biased language is made up of words or phrases that might make certain people or groups feel excluded or underrepresented. We can help create a more inclusive community within our school and neighborhood by ensuring the words we use don’t cause harm towards others unknowingly.

Please note that there are price tiers – the less expensive tickets do have obscured views of the jumbotrons – but clear views of the ice (see their 3D ticket view map on link). Tickets will be available until Dec 22nd or when sold out!
