Here Comes The Trick-And-Eat Food Drive Event!

 Join us this Sunday, October 31st (Halloween...duh!) at 600pm in the Vermont St Parking Lot for our annual Trick-And-Eat Food Drive!

Here are the details, if you'd like to get dressed up and do some trick-or-treating in support of our Neighborhood House Food Pantry:

1) When: Sunday, starting at 600pm, ending no later than 800pm

2) Where: Starting at the IBWHS Vermont St parking lot and fanning out through five-ish zones through the neighborhood between IBWHS and Fred Meyer

3) What: Trick-or-Treating door-to-door through the neighborhood, asking for non-perishable food for the Neighborhood House Food Pantry

4) How: We'll meet at the parking lot by 600pm and break into 4-6 teams of trick-or-treaters, each getting a mapped 'zone' to tackle over the two hours from 600pm-800pm.  Each team should have the following supplies - (1) Wagon or Cart; (2-4) 'Trick-or-Treat' Canvas bags to gather food to take to the wagon/cart; (3-6) people to cover both sides of the street...That's it!  At the end of your 'zone', you'll bring the cart full of food back to the parking lot to gather for donation in a single vehicle.

It's all very simple...and we hope to see you there!  The only things parents/families need to be contribute is getting your student to the school, and pick them up, and perhaps a cart, wagon, or heavier duty shopping bag!  The students will need to bring a good Halloween look, a short 'Trick-or-Treat...we're gathering food for our Neighborhood Food Pantry.  Do you have any non-perishables to share?' pitch, and the will to have a good time serving our community!

Here's a link to the maps of the different trick-or-treat zones we'll be traveling: MAPS

Hope to see y'all at IBWHS on Sunday at 600pm!

A Statement Of Our Principles

In This Time... Words matter.  Anyone who knows me, and has had to endure a long-winded in-person or multi-character typewritten spiel on anything from breakfast that morning, to the minutiae of a Marvel movie, to the justification for an assignment (see below this post), knows that words matter to me greatly, and that it can take me a long time to find the right ones...especially on something as big as the things we are experiencing right now.  And yet...they're failing me in my desire to find what feels like the 'right thing' to say about this moment where the myth of equal rights and protections in our country have been laid bare in a way that has resonated bigger and more intensely than it has in a very long time. Ultimately I'm a small person in a small corner of the country's whitest major city.  I have been, and remain, phenomenally privileged in my life in every way.  I have had little to no practical exposure to bias, to bigotry, to hatred, or to violen...
