Saturday Meeting

Hey Innovations Academy supporters,

One of my favorite sayings is, "It takes a village to raise a child." It's an African Proverb that dates back to way before the Clinton's borrowed it ;)

I believe that it is also true that it takes a village to create new and powerful change in society.

For me, Innovations Academy is not just a school. It's a start to a true revolution where children and adults can be together to learn and grow with and from one another. It's a place where children are making an active contribution to society through their projects and knowing that they are truly amazing individuals now.

Christine and I cradle this vision like a young child, caring and nurturing it. Like all beginnings, our vision has grown and we are getting very close to the birth of this creation. At this time, San Diego Unified is looking over our amazing petition and we are preparing to bring Innovations Academy to full life with a school site and the children to fill it.

We know that we have a lot of support on our project. Every person that we have talked to has been touched and inspired by what we are bringing to San Diego.

As "good parents" we know that we can't do this by ourselves. We need you to join us for the road ahead. At this Saturday's meeting we ask you to join us in this revolutionary process by seeing how you can help us with the tasks ahead. We would also love to connect with you in person and find out what it is that you envision the 2008 - 2009 year to be like for your families.

Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed it's all that ever has." We know that you are all very powerful people and each one of you has a contribution to make in this world, this is an invitation to act on that.

Join us this Saturday to be the change that you want to see in this world for you, your children, and our society. Please see below for more information.

Respectfully and joyfully yours,

Danielle & Christine
