Social Class & Quakers: February 2010
http://quakerclass.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

A while ago, I talked with Liz about a committee charged with a specific task (I'm keeping this non-specific because the issue has since been addressed). BUT IT'S THEIR JOB!

Happenings At Wellsprings Friends School in Eugene. Thursday, July 1, 2010. Videos of Graduation 2010.
