*2.   Senior Celebration Planning Meeting:  **Calling All Senior Parents!  *

US Choral Room

Monday, December 3

7:00 pm

Please join our Senior Celebration leadership team for the first,
fun, kick-off event. Senior Celebration is an evening for seniors, put on
by and featuring parents including a reception followed by a delightful and
maybe embarrassing (for them) variety show by the parents. Traditionally,
at some point, *all the parents take the stage**!* * Note: We keep all
details of the senior celebration secret from our seniors!  *

It's up to us to plan this beloved evening for parents and seniors.  There
are opportunities to participate from planning the invitations to
organizing the food and decorations to creating elements of the show
itself.  *All skill sets are needed,* and we need many captains!  Don't
miss the opportunity to help make this an awesome, fun and memorable
celebration for the class of 2019!  Senior Celebration itself is
Saturday, June 1, from 6–9 p.m., at the Kogod Arts Center.  Come join us!

Your Senior Celebration Chairs:

Anne Conlee Mazlish ([email-masked])

Monday, November 26

8:00 a.m.

 Please join us at the next Quaker Life Committee Parent Coffee on
Monday.  Our November coffee will be a conversation with the members of the
Equity, Justice and Community Committee.  We'll talk about the overlap
between our committee work and specifically explore a partnership to focus
on issues of equity, fairness, justice, cooperation.  This promises to be
an interesting and meaningful exchange and hope to see you there.  Over the
course of the school year, the Quaker Life Committee will hold these
informal coffees so we can gather and help families understand Quakerism
and the ways it enriches our community and the Sidwell Friends educational
experience for our children.
