Weekly Update Oct. 25 - Nov. 1

October 25th, 2024


If the different individuals have to live harmoniously in one society, with a common aim there must be a set of rules which we call morality. Therefore, we can consider morality as a form of adaptation to a common life for the achievement of a common aim. Morality, which is usually considered as an abstraction, we wish to consider as a technique which allows us to live together harmoniously. 
Maria Montessori
Citizen of the World, p. 26

A New Club Begins in November:

Baking with Kelsey!

Calling all junior bakers! Do you have a Children’s House child who would love to explore healthy baked treats? Have them join Kelsey for an after school club Tuesday afternoons during the month of November! They will talk about ingredients, measuring, and the different tools used for baking.

Baking naturally creates larger quantities so each child will receive a small box of treats to take home to eat and share with their families as well each week. Depending on the treat each week, some will be sent home the next day in order to have enough time to cool before packing them up! 

Dates: November 5th , 12th , and 19th
Times: 3:15-4:30
Cost: $75

Materials and snack provided.  Limit - 6 Participants
