See below for a brief summary of upcoming Curley events – and remember to bookmark (and regularly check!) the Curley online calendar. You can click any individual calendar item for more details.
Our website and our online calendar are maintained by parent volunteers, and we’re not always aware of every event that might be of interest to the Curley community. If you know about a school, classroom, BPS, or other event that you think should be on the calendar, please email Carrie Fletcher with the details.

MFABS at Bella Luna/Milky Way – Curley Moms’ Night Out
7:30pm – 9:30pm
Bella Luna/Milky Way, The Brewery, JP
Hello Curley Mamas! Join us for Mamas, Friendship and Beverages for Survival at Bella Luna/Milky Wayat 7:30pm on the last Thursday of each month. It’s a casual evening of beverages and mama-ship. Arrive whenever you can (it’s a “soft” start-time), and leave whenever you need to. By way of introduction for those of you unfamiliar with MFABS, this is a chance for mamas in the Curley K-8 community — and beyond — to get together for a drink and a chat. It’s just for fun; there are no dads, kids, or agendas other than to relax, vent, share, and otherwise take a load off our far-too-busy minds and souls. PLEASE SHARE THIS INVITE with any moms who might enjoy a night out!
Note: We encourage the Curley dads to start their own similar gig! 🙂

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4 – Volunteers Needed!
School Preview Tour
9:30am – 11:00am
Lower School Entrance
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS for our first School Preview Tour of the year! Please help us welcome prospective parents as they tour our buildings, meet the principal and leadership team, and have an opportunity for Q&A with Curley parents. This is a fun and easy way to help out, and we’ll give you lots of guidance on what to do if you’ve never led a tour before. New parents are welcome to come and share your experience at the Curley so far – we will plan to match you with a veteran parent. Please sign up online to participate – and email Carrie Fletcher or Punam Sharma if you have questions.
