Dear All;

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Please see below announcements regarding two upcoming MS events.

---New Anouncement-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Parents Association's All-School Diversity Committee will hold an evening meeting at the Upper School in the Robert H. Smith Meeting Room on Monday, December 3rd from 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. on the conversation topic: "Your Child Needs to Speak up More in Class!" We know that within each family, individual children have varying levels of verbal ability; we also know that being a verbal child at Sidwell Friends is a promoted value. The question arises when a student is quiet or not as verbal as other children. How do we create a successful learning balance for all children, regardless of their verbal prowess? Faculty representatives from all 3 campuses will speak to this topic; as always we welcome family insights and interaction on this topic. We hope you can join us; a light meal and refreshments will be served. Portia Robertson Migas and Felix Sanchez, co-clerks.
