Griffin Gatherings
As a part of our overall Parent Education plan, we will be offering some more practical help to parents in the form of these new “Griffin Gatherings,” which will take place mostly after morning drop off (1-2 hours, depending on the session unless otherwise noted). This is in addition to our Parent Academy Series, which will remain evening events and tend towards the philosophical rather than practical. We hope that you will enjoy and take advantage of both formats and find them equally valuable.
Our current offerings for the year are as follows (some dates/speakers subject to change). Look for more details in Nota Bene throughout the year:
