SUMMARY:Plastic-Free Back to School
DESCRIPTION:With summer winding down in the Northern Hemisphere\, it’s back-to-school time for many students. While back-to-school time is usually associated with plastic binders\, water bottles\, pens\, and other single-use plastics\, it’s possible to avoid a school year filled with toxic plastic—and Plastic Pollution Coalition will show you how. On August 17\, learn why reusable\, refillable\, non-plastic school supplies like stainless steel lunch boxes and food storage containers are better for student health\, the planet\, and wallets—and how to incorporate them into the school year. You will also discuss how schools can incorporate reusable\, plastic-free items and practices into their operations.

SUMMARY:Finding the Magic in Middle School Talk and Book Signing by Chris Balme
DESCRIPTION:This evening community gathering is intended to support the wellbeing and growth of parents\, educators\, and mental health professionals. While this talk is geared toward the development of adolescence\, anyone who helps to raise our children -of any age- will benefit from the brain-body science that is presented. \nIn this talk\, author and acclaimed educator Chris Balme shows how to tap into the positive potential of middle school. It begins with understanding what’s going on inside the middle school brain. Balme introduces three key developmental needs for middle schoolers\, offering practical tips to support them at each step of the way. Drawing on his experience as a middle school founder and principal\, as well as the latest neuroscience\, he offers a fresh and uplifting take on the transformative years of middle school. \nThis talk is based on Balme’s book\, Finding the Magic in Middle School\, which was published in 2022 and quickly became an Amazon bestseller for adolescent psychology. Renowned adolescent psychologist and author Madeline Levine called it “a must-read for anyone who has a tween or works with tweens.” \nThis event is organized by the Interconnected Diversity team and is being supported financially by many individuals and organizations\, including each ticket purchased and donation at checkout. \nGenerous sponsorships have been provided by Cascades Academy and Seven Peaks Schools. Our list of in-kind donors and financial supporters continue to grow and include: Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon\, Insight Counseling\, Natalie Houston\, Amy Bahrman\, The Base at Franklin\, High Desert Makers\, Brightways Counseling Group\, Roundabout Bookstore\, Spencer Mitchell Photography\, \, Kap Seidel and Upstream Parenting\, Tim Burnett\, Carrie Hicks\, Samara Learning Center\, Andy Slavin and Amity Creek Elementary. A Heartfelt THANK YOU to all those contributing\, for making this event possible. \n  \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED - Garden Educator Network: Nurturing the Soil\, Nurturing the Soul
DESCRIPTION:We are partnering with Shiv Shakti to bring our Garden Educator Network a free training titled “Nurturing the Soil\, Nurturing the Soul”. \nFrom Shiv: “This isn’t just a lecture; it’s a love letter to the land and the magic it holds. Imagine understanding the earth beneath your feet not just as dirt\, but as a dynamic\, living canvas. Learn how every scoop of soil and each seed you plant can be a step towards a greener\, happier life. We’re diving deep into the roots of organic gardening\, unraveling the mysteries of nature\, and\, most importantly\, having a whole lot of fun while doing it! Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a curious newbie with an aspiration to cultivate\, this event is your chance to let your gardening dreams sprout wings (or leaves)! So\, mark your calendars\, bring your curiosity\, and prepare to be both educated and entertained. Trust me\, you’ll leave this event with more than just knowledge – you might just find yourself talking to plants (and having them talk back in their leafy language)!” \nShiv installed the greenhouse at Three Rivers School\, as well as designed an educational course: “Organic Gardens: A Garden & Greenhouse Blueprint Manual for All\, available online.\nThis event is free for our Garden Educator Network\, beverages and snacks will be served. \nRSVP HERE!
