Seven Generations Charter School Community Circle Newsletter February 2015 What is The Seven Generations Charter School Community Circle? Our Seven Generations Community Circle is a bit like a PTO or PTA, but in a uniquely Seven Gen way. Our Community Circle is intended to serve as the forum for communication between all members of our Seven Gen community, including families, staff, board members and founders. Every monthly meeting is an opportunity for all of us to share, discuss, and make collective decisions regarding our ideas and concerns about our school, and to learn about the activities of the various committees. This is part of our unique mission of Seven Gen—to ensure that all can be heard and become part of our collective decision-­‐making. Your time and support are what fuels our Community Circle.
