Think Tank for Quaker and Spiritual Life folks in Friends Schools
Keeping Quaker Practices and Spirit Alive & Vibrant

Seasoned educators will share insights and challenges about what worked this spring.
Bring your questions!

- What guidelines do we offer to those who are new to Quaker schools and Friends practices?
- Encouraging leadership and guidance in virtual MFW
- What "liturgy" has your school developed?
- How do we end MFW - virtual handshake? After-thoughts? Joys and concerns?
