8-9 Our Whole Lives This FallWe are excited to offer OWLs in the fall and need to get a gauge of how many students in 8th- 9th grades and above are planning to attend.
This year poses a unique situation, as Covid has pushed eligible students back by a year, meaning last year’s 8th-grade students are now rising 9th graders. These students are of course eligible to take the class, but since we also offer Being a Teen (BATs) beginning with 9th graders, families may have to make a decision about which program to register their children for. Since BATs is a four-year program, I recommend that young people take the OWLs course first.
Classes will meet from 6:30-8:30 PM on the first and third Wednesday of each month from mid-September-May. We will cap the class at 20 students. For more information about the course, visit https://www.uua.org/re/owl.
Please contact Kim Hartman, director of religious education, if you are interested in enrolling your child and with questions. Please note, this will not serve as enrollment itself, but it will allow us to gather information about how many students we need to prepare for.

Music has the power to call forth the best in us, inspiring awareness and action when artists and audiences work together to transform the ineffable into tangible and needed food resources. Join us on Sunday, July 11th at 6:30 pm CT to watch the premiere on YouTube. All donations will be coordinated through Music for Food and 100% will go directly to Pillars, Inc.
