Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity (SEED)
About Seed
Would you like to join SEED?
How we see the world, decide which values to uphold, understand the unfamiliar, raise our kids – all these depend on our personal histories, inform who we are, and guide whom we want to be.  Parent SEED brings together CA parents and those caring for CA students who are interested in looking at issues in diversity, inclusion, and multi-culturalism (such as racism, class, poverty, gender identity, disability rights, etc.) , through their own eyes and those of fellow parents.  Through a year-long series of 7 meetings, enhanced by selected readings, videos, and speakers, we discuss topics important and sometimes uncomfortable, in a confidential and safe space at school. 

If you would like to join SEED, please email Joyce Simson P’08 (jrs@ix.netcom.com) or call her (614-554-9238) She will be in touch with you to introduce the SEED meeting format and will send materials to review before your first meeting.
