"A Christmas Memory" Craft Fair: December 11th & 12th

On Friday, December 11th from 5:00 to 9:00pm, and Saturday the 12th from noon to 8:00pm, the Russian River Charter School will offer a holiday crafts fair. Gifts made by the school's Small Business class include natural cosmetics, fine foods for the holidays, jewelry, wreaths, and candles. The school gardeners will have an assortment of plants for sale, including our famous strawberry guava trees, and the school's student cooks will present three wonderful meals, including pizza, Shrimp Scampi, Beef Stroganoff, soups and salads, and a host of elegant deserts.

Throughout the day and evening, the Russian River World Drama class will present scenes from Renaissance and modern theater, as well as a reading of Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory every evening at 6:00 and 7:30 pm." Admission is $2.50 for adults at the door. Children are free and there will be childcare during the readings. If you RSVP we will reserve dinner or a theater seat, but feel welcome to drop in for the festivities any time!! And do bring guests! All proceeds benefit the school's food and arts programs. Call 887-8790!

Russian River Charter just completed our accreditation review by Western Association of Schools and Colleges, who suggested we remind local families about our amazing Aikido class, as just one of the really excellent and unusual course electives offered at RRCS. Others include Music Appreciation, Fine and Performing Arts, Psychology, and Culinary Art. Our Practical Arts and Crafts course is being offered for a second semester this spring by popular demand. We continue to offer two foreign languages; Spanish and Russian, as well as all core classes toward UC entrance. And this summer our junior class experienced two weeks in Costa Rica, teaming up with a San Francisco State class for a service learning art and ecology project.
