PTO Community Meeting - February 11 (9:05am)

12/13/2025 10:01 am

Please join us for our Q3 PTO Community Meeting this Wednesday February 11 at 9:05 AM.

We’re excited to welcome Emily Sorbi as our guest speaker. Emily is a current CRES parent (mom to a 2nd grader & rising Kindergartner) and a school counselor at Flint Hill School. In her role, she has implemented independence-building initiatives and projects inspired by the Let Grow organization, promoting independent play as a way to support resilience and reduce childhood anxiety. (This play model also helped inspire CRES PTO to launch the Independent Play Club as part of BASA.)

This will be an informal discussion about the program, why she chose to implement it, her professional perspective on why independence is so important for kids, and how we might continue incorporating these ideas into our own school community.
