Let's Talk! How to Facilitate Critical Conversations with Young People
Educators in all settings play a crucial role in helping students talk openly about the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of social inequality and discrimination, and research show us that not talking about race and racism reinforces racist systems and behaviors. Children as young as two years old use race to reason about people’s behaviors. Learning how to communicate about such topics as white privilege, police violence, economic inequality and mass incarceration requires practice, and facilitating difficult conversations with children of all ages demands courage and skill. This workshop offers methods for continual self-reflection and use-tomorrow strategies to plan discussions and to facilitate critical conversations with young people.
Mask Information
Please have this conversation with your student.
Effective Tuesday, February 22, 2022:

Salad Party Update.
For the last two weeks I had the privilege of taking all the students into a garden. We picked lettuce and made it into a salad. The children also got some edible flowers, kale, green onions, cilantro, nasturtium leaves, arugula, and magic dressing in the salad. I got plenty of complements on the salad and several children discovered they love salads (you welcome). We also had a surprise in a garden. Monarch caterpillars decided to stop by for a visit. At one point we had 20. So we should have butterflies coming in soon.
Thank you to all wonderful volunteers that came to help out.CCUSD Solar Energy
CCUSD Solar Energy
In 2014 CCUSD installed a Solar System in the Farragut parking lot. Last year in 2021, our panels generated 1,053,172 kwh of renewable electricity.
According to the EPA Greenhouse Gas equivalency calculator this is equivalent to the emissions of 162 passenger cars driven for a year, or 90 houses powered for a year, or even, the carbon sequestered by 914 acres of forests.
The energy generated by our panels represents about one quarter of the total energy consumed by the whole District. Let’s continue our efforts to reach Net Zero Energy by 2040!
Join our next CCUSD Environmental Sustainability Committee meeting on Thursday March 17th, 2022 from 5-6.30pm. Zoom: https://ccusd.zoom.us/s/87292776993 Contact: sustainability@ccusd.org for details. Everyone is welcome!
