The Village Free School presents a Benefit Production of A Midsummer Nights Dream, a beautiful and hilarious play written by the one and only William Shakespeare. All proceeds go to the school which is a non-profit democratic school here in Portland. My daughter is a student here and it is the most amazing place!!

 There will be 3 days of performances, June 9th, 10th & 11th.

Tickets are available online, click here to purchase.

In addition to the play there will be raffles and a big closing night celebration, after the final performance, with live music & dancing!

If you're in the Portland area you should definitely come, it's going to be amazing!!!

hello readers, we hope you're out there...

there is a family in our community that needs our support. 2 children, connor and tavvi, that go to school with my daughter are going through a very scary situation involving being taken from their loving home and separated from their siblings. Please click here to read their story, you can also click here for more information about connor, tavvi and their family! If you have any thoughts, ideas, resources, etc. please share!!!

this family needs all of the love and support we could give to them. connor and tavvi are amazing people, who deserve to stay with their family. we would miss them terribly if they were forced to leave.

this is so cool!!!

So the oldest zephyrlet started school this year, and she goes to the coolest school in the whole wide world!
