Materials
Mushroom Foraging at Brown Mountain
This outing is for the whole school and open for families to attend.
We will venture up into the Cascades at Fish Lake and enjoy some Fall Mushroom Foraging, food, and share time together. We will have access to a grill and covered pavilion for a potluck meal share for lunch. Everyone will want to dress cozy and bring warm beverages to enjoy on our hike.
Chaperones and carpools will be needed to get all students up there so please consider joining us for the day. More details to come as we get closer.

Group Parent Meeting with Guides
This will be our third optional parent meeting with the Guides. These are group meetings held in the classroom immediately following school. Students will have a game space and are welcome to hang-out on campus but not attend the meeting. Email guides prior to the meeting if you have things you would like to discuss in this open forum. Topics of conversation are prioritized as social concerns ahead of academic concerns.
