All members of the SSW community and their families are welcome to attend. 

Join the SSW community for a grounding opening ceremony and dinner. As we launch into the 2026 summer term, each member of our community is invited to set an intention in three areas: 

  1. Who has supported you to get to this summer and how will you honor them?
  2. What will you create this summer?
  3. What will you leave behind this summer?
