True west brewing co. event

True West is continuing Mass Beer Week celebrations with a chance to meet the brewer! Thursday March 9th 7-9pm talk all things beer with Todd & get a mini tour of the brewery.

Presented by Acton-Boxborough Family Network, with support from Acton-Boxborough United Way. 

In Race to Nowhere, director Vicki Abeles unveiled the dark side of America’s achievement culture. In her follow up documentary, Beyond Measure, Abeles travels to public schools across the country as they embark on a journey to transcend the limits of our outmoded, test-driven education system and create a more equitable, empowering, student-centered education culture from the ground up. By putting research and innovative models into practice, groundbreaking school communities are transforming how and what they teach. In chorus with experts including Sir Ken Robinson, Linda Darling-Hammond, Yong Zhao, Alison Gopnik, Jo Boaler and Daniel Pink, the change makers in Beyond Measure prove that both a new vision and a higher purpose are within reach for American education.

Tickets: $10 in advance online / $15 at door

Exploring ME Through the Arts

14 Session Unit begins October 6th, 2015

This Fall, we will begin our 14 session program developed specifically for children in grades 6-8. Through activities and curriculum during each meeting, participants will get to explore some important and leading self-discovery questions: Who am I? What are the important times of my life? What are my strengths? What are the masks I wear?

In addition, participants will identify and develop their interests through visual arts, music, nature and animals, yoga and movement, drama, technology, and reading and writing. Participants will then have a chance to learn ways to share these strengths and interests to the world.

Sessions meet at Danny’s Place Youth Services on Tuesday afternoons beginning October 6, 2015.
10/6, 10/20, 11/3, 11/17, 12/1, 12/15, 1/5, 1/19, 2/2, 2/23, 3/8, 3/22, 4/5 and 4/26.

Michelle is a nationally renowned expert on the science of positive communication and the founder of the Institute for Applied Positive Research, as well as a former news anchor for CBS News. During this interactive presentation, Michelle will explain how each of us can broadcast happiness to inoculate our brain against stress and negativity, boost performance, create positive change at school and home, and make positive messages go viral. This presentation is geared to 7th to 12th grade students, parents/guardians and faculty.

Free (suggested donation of $5 per person to support community forums).

There will be a complimentary dessert reception in the West Commons immediately following the presentation.
