Hi everyone, to end this school year with a celebration, we will be doing an ice cream social this week at West Richmond Friends Meeting from 4-5pm :). It has been a wonderful year of exploration and events, and Zoë and Ollie wish to see you after the summer! With this last meeting, we will sadly be saying goodbye to Indira as she will be going on to the next chapter of her life outside of Richmond.

Thank you to those who came to the last Lightseekers event where we walked the back campus trails and had a delightful picnic with watermelon. The flowers were gorgeous and the trails were fresh because of the rain from the hour before :).

We look forward to seeing you at the ice cream social this week!

Your F/friends,
Zoë, Ollie, and Indira

Hi everyone,

We hope you are well and enjoying this lovely spring weather! It was so wonderful getting to learn about bees on the farm, set up a wild bee trap, and taste test honey as the reward! :) 

For this weekend’s meeting, in honor of Earth Day we will be making posters to hang in public spaces reminding people not to litter. We will also be discussing eco-friendly lifestyle swaps and the importance of caring for the Earth. We’ll meet at our usual West Richmond Friends location from 4-5PM. The high school group will once again be joining Lightseekers for this :) We hope to see everyone there!

Warmly,
Indira and Zoe

Hi everyone,

We hope the week has been treating you well so far! For this weekend’s meeting, we will have a combined middle and high school group meeting doing a park trash pickup. We will also get to explore the beautiful trails and waterfall of this area!  

We will be meeting at the parking lot of Springwood Park, 60 Waterfall Rd, Richmond, IN 47374 from 4-5PM. Feel free to call/text Indira at (845) 399-2852 if there are any difficulties finding us.

It’s looking like it’s going to be chillier than these last few days have been, so make sure to bundle up! We can’t wait to explore the trails and care for the earth together! :)
