An Open Letter to a Parent Considering Classical Conversations - Soon our community will being hosting Open Houses, Information Meetings, and even a Coffee Time for Moms interested in learning more about the Classical Model. This is an amazing opportunity to share with friends, family, and church members about Classical Conversations. I love this Open Letter on CC's Writer's Circle - but don't hesitate to pick up the phone or e-mail Director Karen or myself if you know someone interested in learning more about CC.
