This is a great opportunity for students with a special interest, experience, or talent to take a leadership role in planning and leading an Enrichment.
We encourage students to develop ideas and step up with their coolest plans for enriching Enrichments. Ideas can be submitted here.

Resources for parenting
Making Caring Common , a project at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, has lots of thoughtful, helpful resources on parenting and educating our children.
Two of the topics I've been reading on lately are College admissions and Caring, Empathy, and Concern for the Common Good.
I also like A Parent's Resource Guide to Social and Emotional Learning from Edutopia.
You may find them interesting--thought I'd share.
