(1/16/08) KID FLICKS - An Eliot-Pearson Film Series about the LIVES of CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS

Dear Eliot-Pearson Students -

Welcome back to Tufts!  Attached, you'll find a flyer for KID FLICKS, a film series that explores the lives of children and adolescents.  This year's themes include an examination of children and sports, a look at teenage parenting and pregnancy, a unit on adolescents and gangs, and a look at children's lives under Jim Crow.  All films are free open to the entire E.P. community - and you're welcome to stay for the group discussion after the movie - we often have very interesting guest discussants. 

All films will be shown on Fridays at 1:30 in Tisch 314 (third floor of Tisch Library).  Come to one ...come to all.

Have a wonderful semester!

Best,
Chip Gidney

Hope. Pictured below are all of our gifts reaching Project Hope in
Roxbury MA. Robin Eastwood (the donations coordinator) was thrilled
to receive the donations and they will be distributed to families
tomorrow- just in time for the holidays!

I realize that a few gifts came in today, I will make sure that the
