Dear families,

 

On Tuesday the entire high school put our regular program on pause for the purpose of democracy. For the past three years we have, with the leadership of Ann Carroll, the Elections Class, and Students for Democracy, spent a day in November working to understand how to tend to and sustain our democratic society. Fundamental to this day is cultivating the understanding that democracy is not a static state, but is a project that is dynamic, ongoing, and also vulnerable and in need of protection. 

Across the day LREI high school students learned about various aspects of civic engagement, and ways they can take action right now. We are so proud of our student leaders who built workshops to teach their peers–this is what makes LREI so very special.
