The South of South Neighborhood Association (SOSNA) and the Friends of Chester Arthur are hosting a public schools fair on June 8 for neighborhood parents to learn more about local schools. 
This Wednesday evening, I will be at Congregation Rodeph Shalom hosting a meetup for families of young children in Center City/Fairmount who are embarking on the elementary school search. Come, enjoy some pizza, learn a little bit about the process of choosing a school in Philly, and meet other parents in the same boat.
