Middle school director Terry Kessel had a front-row seat to the political upheaval in Honduras this summer during a trip for teachers with Heifer International.  Briefly confined to her hotel room in the city of San Pedro Sula, she watched street demonstrations from the balcony.  Terry has returned to school ready to share what she learned about Heifer’s proven model of “food sovereignty” that helps lift participants out of poverty.

As the new Parent Association co-presidents, we welcome new families to the Friends Select School community and welcome back returning families.  The Parent Association is one important way we create and enhance a vibrant, extended Friends Select community. It is a vital link between families and the school, -- so we hope that you will participate in Parent Association activities, attend a meeting and/or volunteer for an event.  
 
We also hope you’ll “drop by” on the PA Web page to stay up-to-date.   Please feel free to contact us or any other member of the board (listed below) if you have any questions or suggestions.  We would be happy to hear from you. 
 
We look forward to meeting and working with each and every Friends Select parent in 2009-2010.  Help us make this the best year that it can be!

See you at the Welcome Back Party on Friday, September 11th.
