On June 1, we had a nice, square-table gathering of about a dozen parents who were able to pool brain resources (!) and come to some consensus on a few essential topics for the new Friday Group Learning Opportunity slated for Fridays at the Old Mystic Baptist Church. Highlights include:
Name: Classical Community Coop (...or CCC, or C cubed!) - voted
