"The Quaker belief that there is 'that of God' in each of us shapes everything we do at Sidwell Friends School  It inspires us to show kindness and respect toward one another.  It motivates us to recognize and nurture each person's unique gifts.  It teaches us to apply our talents in service to others and to work courageously for peace.  We draw strength from silence - and from the power of an individual and collective reflection.  We cultivate in all members of our community high personal expectations and integrity, respect for consensus, and an understanding of how diversity enriches us, why stewardship of the natural world matters and why service to others enhances life. Above all, we seek to be a school that nurtures a genuine love of learning and teaches student 'to let their lives speak.'"

These are the words of our March presenter, Tom Farquhar.  Tom is the Head of School at Sidwell Friends School and an active member of Sandy Spring Friends Meeting.  During his career as an educator among Friends, he has taught at Sandy Spring Friends School and, prior to his accepting the position at Sidwell Friends, he was Head of School at Westtown Friends School.  

Potluck starts at 6:30, and presentation at 7:30.  All are welcome.
