North Dallas Children Reach Out to Southeast Asia Children

Students at the North Dallas campus of Coram Deo Christian Academy raised almost $1,300 for children orphaned by the Tsunami. The fund raising effort was a response to the grief students were expressing as they saw children in Southeast Asia who literally lost everything in the Tsunami. The students were struck by the contrast between the abundance they experienced in the week between Christmas and New Years, and the complete devastation those families endured.

Great Books for March

In 1928, Virginia Woolf was invited to lecture on "Women and Fiction" at two women's colleges at Cambridge University. A year later she published the revised and expanded lectures as A Room of Ones Own. Here she describes a nameless young woman's quest to answer the question: Why are women poor? And what effect does poverty (and the resulting lack of tradition) have on the mind?
Join us on March 15th, 7:30pm at the upper school, to discuss Woolf's exploration of women's inferior position in society. The selection is available at the upper school front desk. Men may attend without worry; Woolf doesn't blame us.
