1. Learn how to create your own individual biography chart as well as the meaning of the seven-year cycles.
2. Identify your life- themes and understand the gifts and challenges of the seven-year cycle you are living through at this time.
3. Identify the questions you are living with at this time in your life.

A Decade in Bloom- Annual Auction- Saturday May 6
The best party of the year is coming back! We will joyfully reconnect and celebrate our school community. This event provides vital funds for school operations and helps to bridge the gap for our essential tuition assistance. For the past seven years, hundreds of parents and local residents have bid on items to support our cause. In order to grow and cover the expenses of being a school in San Francisco, we hope to raise $200,000 this year. 

Enjoy a glorious evening filled with friends, dinner and drinks including:
  • Silent Auction including handmade items by our community
  • Presentations by parents and teachers
  • Live Auction including class projects
  • Raffle including a wine chest, mystery box, and Tahoe Donner house
  • Fund-a-Need giving opportunity
Stay to party with FLEETWOOD MACRAME, the premier, women led Fleetwood Mac cover band.
This event is open to extended friends and family so please share the invitation.

RSVP by April 26
(Guests must be 21 and over)
​

Auction items are coming in and we're in need of your support to solicit more fantastic items. Soliciting items through personal contacts is most effective. Our hope is that every family can solicit three items. 

Save the date, lend a hand, see you there!
