SUMMARY:AJA Parent Education Event Feb. 27 - Joyful Rigor with Dr. Karyn Rayburn
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to a special parent education event and reception on February 27 from 8:45-9:45am with AJA’s incoming head of school. Dr. Karyn Rayburn: Joyful Rigor: Cultivating Resilience\, Belonging\, and Growth. PleaseRSVP HERE. \nDr. Rayburn will present and lead a discussion on how schools can blend academic challenge with genuine joy. She will highlight how AJA already provides strong relationships\, a deep sense of belonging\, and a commitment to meaningful learning which sets the stage for what she calls joyful rigor. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nPractical Strategies: Learn actionable tips\, such as establishing solid routines and supporting your child during moments of change\, that you can immediately apply at home.\n\n\nResearch and Real-Life Insights: Drawing on current child development research and my own years as a school leader\, Dr. Rayburn will share examples that highlight how clear teaching practices and values-driven expectations foster resilience and celebrate every learning milestone.\n\n  \n\nCommunity-Focused Discussion: This is not just a presentation; it is a chance to connect with fellow parents and reaffirm that the school community not only challenges students but also nurtures their spirit every day.\n\nDr. Rayburn hopes that attendees will see how joyful rigor is not just an idea but a way of life that helps children embrace challenges\, discover their strengths\, and find delight in learning at every step.

SUMMARY:IAC + CAA | A Sensory Journey – Special Women’s Day Event
DESCRIPTION:A Sensory Journey into Memory and Meaning\nSometimes\, a single scent\, a sound\, or the texture of a familiar fabric opens a door to a memory we didn’t know we were carrying. You are invited to an immersive gathering where stories emerge through the five senses.\nGuided sensory moments create space for reflection\, recognition\, and connection\, allowing memories to surface gently and at one’s own pace. As these moments unfold\, stories begin to take shape as shared human experiences.\nIn a fast-paced world of surface-level communication\, this workshop returns us to slower\, more meaningful ways of being together. A taste\, an image\, or a sound can spark recognition across the room\, creating moments of resonance and unexpected connection. Through this process\, women discover not only their own inner landscapes\, but also the bridges that form when stories are shared and witnessed.\nThe workshop will be led by Dr. Yael Avnaim\, a storyteller\, educator\, and strategic communication expert who works with communities and mission-driven organizations to create connection and meaning through story.\nAdditional Information:\nLanguage: English\nAudience: Women only\nTickets: https://iac360.org/iac-events/intewomaus/\nContact: Shelly Shwartz
