Make Nia House an Energizer Station

Our Nia House community should be proud! We have so many committed bike commuters. Bike to Work Day or Bike to School Day has a standing history of celebration here at Nia House. Eve declares it her favorite holiday! On this celebratory day, the children count with tally-marks the bikers that pass by, play instruments and pass out baked treats (Nia House style- sugar free, gluten free, vegan and somewhat palatable) to those that pass by. 

This year, we have the exciting opportunity to be a legit, on the map, pass out bags and goodies, Energizer Station. Alas, to make this happen, we are going to need your help. Here is a great opportunity to get some parent hours and participate in a really meaningful, earth affirming, and healthy living event. 

We need help staffing the Energizer Station on Thursday, May 11th.

Any early birds out there? Can you set up at 7am? We need folks to greet bikers and hang out between 7:30-9:30. Sign up in the office.

Bike East Bay also needs someone to attend a Bag Stuffing at Sports Basement Berkeley on May 4 or 5 for two hours. Details coming soon. For more information on Bike to Work/School Day click here.  

Chickens

...For the physical life it is necessary to have the child exposed to the vivifying forces of nature, it is also necessary for his physical life to place the soul of the child in contact with creation, in order that he may lay up for himself treasure from the directly educating forces of living nature. The method for arriving at this end is to set the child at agricultural labor, guiding her to the cultivation of plants and animals, and so to the intelligent contemplation of nature.

-Maria Montessori

Thank you to the Bishas (Lucy) and Thelins (Avidel), two new toddler families, that have agreed to contribute one weekend hour each month to tend to our chickens!

We need just two more families to make a commitment in order to move forward with the chicken plan. Who is in?

Contact stacey@niahouse.org if you would like to help.
