In Lak'ech is a Mayan teaching that represents the idea
"I am you, and you are me"
It embodies the concept of interconnectedness and mutual respect, emphasizing the idea that we are all part of a larger community and share a collective responsibility to one another. This philosophy impacts the culture of our school by fostering an environment of unity, empathy, and collaboration. It reminds us that the success and well-being of each individual are interconnected with the success and well-being of the entire community. By embracing "In Lak'ech," we cultivate a culture where every student, teacher, community, and staff member is valued and supported, creating a space where respect, cooperation, and shared growth are at the heart of everything we do.
In Lak'ech
You are my other me. Tu eres mi otro yo
If I do harm to you, Si te hago daño a ti,
I do harm to myself. Me hago daño a mi mismo
If I love and respect you, Si te amo y respeto
I love and respect myself. Me amo y respeto yo
