This year’s back-to-school BBQ is coming around faster this year as we pair the event with a speaker whom a few of us heard at a restorative practice workshop over the summer. His story of hope and resilience left us inspired and without words. Having published two books, he’ll also spend the day working with students on the power of writing and listening. Donations for the dinner support Erdkinder immersion and field trips. (Vegetarian options are available). This is also the evening when band students can sign up for instrument rental. The back-to-school BBQ event is 4:30-7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 12th. Childcare for CH and E1 students available from 6:00-7:00 p.m.
