Wildflower Open Classroom -

Some heart-warming pictures to brighten your day! Sammie using Zoom with some students, reading in the park, and thinking about some people that might be having a hard time staying home and missing our friends and family. So since it’s “D” week in his Kindergarten class, we thought of a song that started with the letter “D” that might make people happy so we listened to the song, then Trevor was excited to draw a beautiful picture to share with a “happy” message to everyone ❤️

More distance learning pictures for you to peruse!

While everyone is stuck at home, we asked families to send us some pictures of how Wildflower students are managing social distancing, and distance learning. Keep 'em coming, we love seeing the different styles of creative learning!

The Adolescent Program had the culmination of their Heroic Journey program with a Letting Go Ceremony at Bidwell Park's Fire Ring Wednesday evening. Student's brought an object to "give up" that symbolized that they are growing up and letting go of some of their childish ways of thinking. Students, along with their families and adult allies were in attendance for this heroic step towards growing up.

Trauma Training scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 11 (tomorrow), has been POSTPONED until a later date. Sorry for the inconvenience, we will let you know the date as soon as it is rescheduled.

Linda Holm and Cassandra Ventura's fifth and sixth graders will be appearing on KZFR 90.1 Wednesday evening, November 4, 6 pm on the "Real Issue" public affairs program. They will be reenacting the Senneca Falls Convention of 1848, where Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others protested the unequal treatment of women and launched the women's right to vote movement.
