City Council Education Subcommittee Hearing + Vartan Gregorian I Was There Celebration

A heads up from Councilman Sam Zurier about tonight's City Council Education Subcommittee meeting, with links added by me:

Tonight at 5:30 p.m., the City Council Education Subcommittee will review a draft report about the Mayoral Academy application of Meeting Street School. The draft report will discuss the application’s financial impact. It also will discuss the broader context of special education programs in the Providence Public Schools in light of a recent review by the Council of the Great City Schools. Please consider joining us.

The meeting takes place at City Hall, 25 Dorrance Street, 3rd floor.

Also, tonight from 6-8pm: the annual celebration of Vartan Gregorian Elementary School at Fox Point's I Was There project at the school, 455 Wickenden Street. Students, educators, and community members will present artwork, photography, video, audio and, of course, food related to this year's theme, "A Taste of Home."
