Here at the Chicago Freedom School we just finished our week-long Summer Staff Orientation.  We went through lots of amazing trainings, and now we're super excited for the youth to join us on June 30th.  Here are some pics from the training...

 It wasn't all work.  We did enjoy an evening at Bar Louis.  I think Alex (Director of Organizing) and Mia (Director of CFS) devised this.
