Lisa Hiley writes in an email: "Hello -- sorry for the group blast but we're trying to get the word out and encourage people to come out to a new venture: The Mount Greylock Regional High School PTO is hosting a couple of community dinners to give people the chance to meet some teachers and administrators and find out more about what's going on up at the high school. It's also a fundraiser with some great food and will be part of an effort to put together a fun cookbook of local recipes. (See attached flyer for more details)":

Omo Moses is Executive Director and founding member of The Young People's Project (YPP), a non-profit organization that seeks to "organize young people to radically change their education and the way they relate to it." Founded in 1996, YPP is based in Cambridge, MA, Jackson, MS, and Chicago, IL and works with high school and college students to utilize mathematics as a tool for personal and community transformation. YPP evolved out of the Algebra Project, which in turn grew out of the civil rights activism of the Algebra Project's founder and winner of the MacArthur Foundation's Genius Award, Robert P. Moses, Omo's father.
Lunch is provided, all are welcome. RSVP: sengel@williams.edu

Steve Barr founded Green Dot Public Schools in Los Angeles in 1999 with the vision of transforming secondary education. His charter-school group is now California's largest by enrollment and one of its most successful. Green Dot schools take kids who arrive, in most cases, far below grade level and send nearly 80% of them to college. Green Dot's leadership in pushing for improved public education led the Los Angeles Times to name Barr as one of 100 most influential people in Southern California in 2006.
