kindergarten info night + matcha news + graphic novel storytime

"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." 
— Plutarch

Dear Reader,
In my mind, learning to read starts with the first book opened and read aloud to a child, no matter the age (and a love of reading starts the first time a baby chews on a copy of Goodnight Moon). For many, though, there is the belief that literacy starts in Kindergarten where we learn to 'read and write and do our numbers'. As a mother of three kiddos, I can attest that this belief has led many of us to peer a bit more closely at the many school choices out there. And there are many in our fair city! As such, I have invited a few experts over for an evening at Black Bird to meet with families in our community and share their insights and guidance into the process of choosing a school that best fits their child and their family. 

I hope you can join us tomorrow night! The event is free and open to all.

In community,
Kathryn
Join us for an evening with three local independent school admission directors who will help frame how to have a fruitful discovery process when searching for a school for your child. For more details on the event and sign up, please click the RSVP button below.
