        We have learning forums where students attend workshops of their choice related to a particular topic, e.g. after reading the YA Omnivore’s Dilemma we had “Omnivore’s Forum”—workshops from local food experts. We’ve also had a Pay It Forward Forum and a Language Forum. #bfc530

    I will admit, spirit weeks for my children have stressed me out in the past. I try to be creative but sometimes it means I have to spend too much money to buy jerseys or Hawaiian shirts or whatever they are supposed to wear. #bfc530
