A gathering for a community (home cooked) meal to discuss lived experience with death, dying and grief. “The dinner table is the most forgiving place for difficult conversation. The ritual of breaking bread creates warmth and connection, and puts us in touch with our humanity. It offers an environment that is more suitable than the usual places we discuss end of life” - DeathOverDinner.org

Online learning classes are taught by Safeway instructors. The State requires that students have a camera and microphone and be actively engaged with the instructor during each 3-hour class.

The permit test is not provided during the class. Safeway would email the Zoom information and account verification email before the class begins.

Do you want to help your child maintain reading and math skills over summer break? GRASP is an at-home program used by families throughout the U.S. for 50 years! Children finishing Kindergarten to 8th grade receive a packet of materials with a booklet. This booklet has 9 units of review exercises to be completed each week. Each lesson takes about one hour to complete. You mail scan sheets to GRASP for scoring and we will email lesson results back.

SUGGESTED RETURN DATE FOR FIRST LESSON IS JUNE 12TH ALL LESSONS MUST BE POSTMARKED BY AUGUST 7TH Children in grades 4 to 8 can choose to do GRASP online instead of using the book and scan sheets. The results of each question are shown immediately. If your child successfully completes at least 7 units with 70% accuracy are awarded a certificate. Those successfully completing all 9 units with 70% accuracy receive a medal (one per child). Results will be shared with your school, and they will distribute certificates and medals. The cost is $39 for one subject or $68 for both subjects for each child. Order the grade level they are just completing so they can review or order a different level if that is appropriate for your child.
