You’re Invited: Ravenswood School Community Retreat, June 3
Don’t forget to mark your calendars! On Sunday, June 3, from 2 pm to 5:30 pm, a retreat and strategy session will be held in the Ravenswood School library (4th floor) to outline and discuss school support activity for the 2012-13 school year. Anyone interested in getting involved with supporting Ravenswood School, contributing ideas, and shaping our school’s support strategy is welcome to attend.
A short, updated State of the School address will be presented by Principal Heather Connolly, followed by a presentation of a draft strategy plan for the 2012-13 school year. Committee groups will then be created, tasked with devising committee-specific action plans in support of one central goal: fostering a more active, well-coordinated, better communicated, and better funded school moving forward.
Childcare for the event is available through BASA for $20 per child. Please reserve your spot with BASA by Friday, June 1. Call the BASA office at 312.927.8147 or email.
