SUMMARY:Sip + Story: The Recipes That Made Us
DESCRIPTION:Few things bring us together as universally as food—especially the recipes that have lived in our kitchens and families for generations.

We’ll share our stories\, connect with one another\, and reflect through memory\, intuition\, and storytelling. \nTogether\, we will memorialize these recipes and the histories behind them—creating something that can be passed down and shared for generations to come\, celebrating food as a love language and a lasting connection. \nPlease bring a recipe that holds personal meaning for you—feel free to bring a few options and choose one during the workshop. \nThis event is 21+. 1 drink and nosh provided. Additional drinks for purchase. \n \nHave questions about the event? Email info@sjcc.org. For help registering\, fill out this help form or email AccountSupport@SJCC.org. \n\nBio:\nRonit Plank is a writer\, teacher\, and editor whose work has appeared in The Atlantic\, Poets & Writers\, The Rumpus\, Hippocampus\, The New York Times\, and elsewhere\, earning Best of the Net\, Best Microfiction\, and multiple Pushcart Prize nominations.

SUMMARY:Schwartz Early Childhood School Parent Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Schwartz ECS Parent Education Series designed to strengthen family partnerships (currently enrolled and community) and deepen understanding of early childhood learning and development through a Reggio-inspired approach. \nThe virtual series will include several themed sessions led by members of the leadership team\, each addressing an area families frequently ask about and that directly supports our school philosophy: \nDec. 1 – Academics in a Reggio Classroom – Demonstrating how early literacy\, math\, and science concepts are integrated into play\, exploration\, and inquiry rather than taught through rote instruction. \nJan. 15 – Emotional Responsiveness and Challenging Behaviors – Offering tools for understanding the meaning behind behaviors\, building emotional regulation\, and supporting children through a compassionate\, connection-based approach. \nMarch 28 – Toilet Learning – Sharing respectful\, developmentally appropriate strategies that emphasize independence\, body awareness\, and collaboration between home and school. \nMay 20 – The Power of Play – Highlighting how play supports every area of development—social\, emotional\, cognitive\, and academic—and how it lays the foundation for lifelong learning. \nThe goal of this series is to empower parents with knowledge and confidence\, strengthen the partnership between home and school\, and communicate how the Reggio Emilia philosophy supports both academic readiness and whole-child development.
