Welcome Brigitte!

We wanted to officially welcome Brigitte to our KW program.  Brigitte has a long history at our school, as a teacher, a parent, and a substitute.  Last year, she worked in our Rainey A Pod along with Elena.  We are so happy to have her for the duration of Jordan's paternity leave.  

A Quick Look at our Week

One of Brigitte's many talents is that she is an amazing cook.  She informed us that January 27th is National Chocolate Cake Day.  We will celebrate by making Brigitte's special recipe with both groups.   Weaving, group games, more work related to the school's birthday, and some big buildings will round out our week! 

Please remember...

 ...to join us this Thursday, January 27 from 6:30 - 8 for an evening with Erica Thompson! Despite their young age, children are noticing differences all the time. This 90 minute parent workshop will empower parents to create a culture of having critical conversations with young children around topics of race, difference, and equity. Erica Thompson is the Assistant Head of School for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School. She has over 25 years experience in various capacities at  independent schools. She is a graduate of Georgetown University and received her MA in teaching and curriculum from Loyola of Maryland. She has presented workshops around areas of Diversity and Inclusion locally and nationally. Additionally she is a parent to two teenagers (who have informed her work). She is passionate about helping students on their identity journeys and working with teachers to help facilitate that journey.
