One goal for this year is to strengthen our advising unit by incorporating families more into the advising life. Having families get together is important for so many reasons:
*Many of you are doing exciting things and will enjoy getting to know each other.
*Families can give important feed back about what they want to see in their child's education. Trillium is a place that can respond in a way that the average MS cannot. By meeting with me, your advocate, I can make certain your ideas are expressed when the US meets to discuss program, school climate, and other decisions that impact the day to day life of your middle schooler. In advising, I can incorporate your ideas concerns in a very immediate way.
*I love to get to know families, especially in informal settings. It helps me to support your child, and also gives you the opportunity to know me.
*Its a fun time to spend with other families and in the community!
The first dates for Family Events for this year are:
January 25th Potluck at The Murphy's. We will meet near the old school to share a cold winter night filled with warm conversations. Bring a dish to share.
February 16th Family day at the African Film Festival. This is a free event at the Kennedy School. There are two animated movies appropriate for the whole family (younger siblings included). They start at two. More info soon!
I am working on getting us cheap Blazer tickets for a night at the Rose Garden.
Send ideas! Anyone interested in helping organize a gathering? Would families be interested in doing a family community-service event together?
