Kinship Cafés are an open conversation focused on our experiences with education as we look back on the pandemic and look ahead at the coming school year.  If there are other topics more important to the families who join the session, we can change the focus of our discussion.  This time together is intended to allow us to share our experiences and learn from each other.
