COMMUNITY SOCRATES CAFÉ

Tuesday, December 3, 6:00- 7:30 pm Harwood Union High School Library

On Tuesday, December 3 from 6:00- 7:30 PM, Harwood Union HS will be hosting another Socrates Café in the HUHS Library.  All members of the community are welcome to join in the dialogue on the question: “How does the lack of diversity in our community affect our perspectives on ourselves and others?”  Rather than being a debate or a discussion, a Socrates Café is a dialogue where participants are encouraged to listen to each other and to learn from one another. This form of discourse and its focus on the search for knowledge, comes from Socrates, who observed that, "Wisdom Begins in Wonder." These gatherings are open to all members of the community, regardless of age, experience or background. Harwood students who are experienced in leading Socratic Dialogues will facilitate the discussions.  Refreshments will be served.  

For more information contact Kathy Cadwell, katherinewcadwell@gmail,com or Jonah Ibson, jibson@huusd.org

Attention Young Basketball Players (boys and girls),

  If you are interested in playing 1st and 2nd grade basketball, please use the following link to sign up.  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelyXQk_2H2_Fu0qaLUCYuKH2JM5_x8zYMPI7lvjLtoG9pqAQ/viewform

The commitment is 1 hour a week at TBPS and 1st graders go 8:30-9:30 and 2nd graders 9:30-10:30.  Each week the players will focus on fundamentals and getting to know the game.  It is low key and a great way to be exposed to the game itself.  

Please contact Brian Godfrey @brian.godfrey@mmuusd.org  If you have any questions.

Have a great weekend.
