Can you believe it’s been one whole year since we opened our doors? We’re a bit in disbelief ourselves. Appalachian Progressive Education invites you to join us. We are thrilled and honored to celebrate our passage through the one year milestone, with you. With your help we have grown so much. Curious about everything we’ve done together, we took a look back over the year and here’s what it looked like:
– hosting over 300 hours of Open Doors that served over 500 people of all ages from babies, to college students, to small businesses up to our dear elders
– hosting 10 small business pop up events, with over 28 small businesses,
– MANY wonderful independent wellness teachers from Tai Chi, to yoga for all ages, pilates, zumba, hulla hooping and more
– 3 intimate concerts brought joy to well over 100 families
– World reknown Nancy Mellon was with us, here in ATHENS to offer continued education and support to over 50 teachers, parents and communtiy members
– 6 fun and resourceful clothing swaps that not only served those who attended but 3 other orginizations that received donation after donation of clothing
– Our consignment shop connected locals to dozens of talented artisans
And all in a space created through a connection to nature, community and the needs of humans. THANK YOU for helping us grow. Please join us as we celebrate and enjoy our fruit!
