Coalition of Essential Schools Conference
Bob and Jack will be the teacher representatives from Steller attending the Fall Forum, the Coalition of Essential Schools annual Conference, November 8-10th. Steller is looking for a parent and student to attend the conference with them. If you are interested in knowing more about the conference, please go to
http://www.essentialschools.org/pub/ces_docs/fforum/fforum.html
Interested students and parents should submit a brief paper which answers the following questions:
Why would you like to attend the conference?
What would you hope to learn at the conference?
How would you share what you have learned with the greater Steller community?
These can be turned in to Karin in the Steller front office by October 5th. Please take an interest in this opportunity and apply. We are particularly looking for students and parents that would like to explore the possibilities of alternative education but do not have prior experience or knowledge in this area. There is no cost to the participating parent and student other than spending money. Airfare, hotel and food expenses will be covered by the Steller Alternative Education account. Fundraisers such as Steller t-shirt and sweatshirt sales have funded this opportunity.
GIVE STELLER YOUR EXTRA AIRMILES! If you have airfare miles that you could donate to those traveling to the Coalition of Essential Schools Fall Forum, please contact Jack Davis this week.
