September has been a month filled with re-connecting, meeting new and taking on adventures in an ever-strengthening community of learners. Wet and chilly fall weather was the perfect fit for the first week of school, helping kids and teachers settle into indoor routines and the structures of school life after a freedom-filled summer. Bright, sunshine filled days replaced low clouds and rain, just in time for overnight adventures on Whidbey Island and Lost River. Our youngest crew members have been busy as bees, learning songs, chants, animal stories - taking in the wonders of a new, big school.
Crew rooms are filled with "Shared Visions" and "Codes of Conduct", created by the students, to help guide and inspire them throughout the year. Parents, board members and staff members add to the process to create overarching shared philosophy and values by which to live.
A special thanks to new volunteers, both parent and community-based - we are off to a great start and look forward to sharing the adventure with you!
