This past Sunday afternoon we had another open space meeting with members of community where Children’s Academy is being built. Nearly 200 attended, ranging in age from 1 – 85. See photos and video below. The theme was “How do we work together to make sure our children are getting a good education?”

Twelve breakout sessions were proposed, at least 6 of them proposed by kids 15 and under. I participated in a session proposed by Tobenson, just 12 years old: “What type of education should children receive?” Watching the community engage in both the construction of the school and in thinking through the vision for Children’s Academy is a source of hope for all of us involved.
