NP for 1st I believe there is geo-plunge, game club, reading club, and Girl Scouts. I could be wrong (have an older kid). I think girls on the run starts in 2nd.

-a progressive black mom that loves our school...also, not sure who the “progressive white folk” are since 66% (was 100% last year) of the leadership of school and half of IFA leadership are black. Not sure I agree about the way a PP is painting their picture.[/quote]

Thank you for posting and sharing. We attended the a open house and were actually really happy to see a lot of teacher and staff of color their and pictured on the walls.  It is definitely important to us that our child see themselves reflected at all levels in the school they attend. We were also impressed with the SPED team and resources we saw at the school. We also like the "you broke it you fix it" idea applied to discipline vrs punishment without thought.  
The other posts were definitely starting to worry me a bit that maybe we missed something. Maybe it wasn't all we thought it might be...  I am glad to hear prospective from another parent of color on this topic.  We are new and haven't had a chance to meet many parents out side of our current IB. [/quote]

You may also be interested in this article that was written about the school today. It mentions the diversity of the staff (59% of staff are persons of color). As an AA mom of a boy, I have felt that it’s been really impactful having AA male teachers for him to identify with. He now says he wants to be a teacher. He’s also had Chinese, African, and Indian teachers. Also gay teachers.
