The Transition to High School
Tuesday, June 3rd, 8:15am
SFDS Library

Meet with Michael Pastor and Leah Rosenkrantz to discuss your thoughts and feelings about about what your son/daughter will be encountering in the next few years. Leah and Michael both have two teens of high school age or above and have contacted a number of high school counselors/deans to get their perspective on this transition. It should be an interesting, perhaps reassuring morning.

White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son
Monday, September 15th , 7:00pm
SFDS Gym

Tim Wise the critically acclaimed anti-racist author and activist will be visiting SFDS to share his story and perspectives based on his book, "White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son."

Tim Wise offers a highly personal examination of the ways in which racial privilege shapes the lives of most white Americans, overtly racist or not, to the detriment of people of color, themselves, and society. Wise examines the breadth and depth of the phenomenon within institutions such as education, employment, housing, criminal justice, and healthcare.

The entire SFDS faculty, staff, and administration will read Time Wise's book as our summer reading. Everyone is encouraged to join the faculty and read White Like Me this summer. If you would like a copy of the faculty book please contact Renee Otero. The price is $13.95 plus tax.
