Last Sunday saw the start-up of “Cedar’s Charter School of Wisdom and Wizardry”. The children and youth welcomed Professors Luna Linda (Linda Andrews) and Joylanda Stitchwick (Joyce Jensen), specialists in haberdashery, and had the opportunity to sew their own wizard hat. We also were visited by the Sorting Hat, who placed students into four houses and told them the qualities of their character and why they were placed there. The students also sang the school song in honor of our sponsoring institution, Hogwarts School of Wizardry and successfully found and answered the riddle that opened the door to our magical wizardry room. We had a full day and there is more to come! Each week the students will learn new spells and skills to work for positive change in the world. It is our wish that they will be able to use their new skills for good.
We have other wishes as well…the school needs your support this summer in time, talent and treasure. Here are ways to help, please contact me, Professor Candace Colewort for more information:
