Share Fair on Fifth Street

Amy — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:56:00 +0000

The ShareFair is a newly conceived community event that will focus on kids, art and sharing. The first ever ShareFair will take the form of a street fair featuring fun kids activities, artist exhibits and special areas with resources for sharing goods, services and ideas to build community. The Fair will also feature great live music, local 5th Street restaurants and a hopping beer garden.

This first ShareFair will focus on KIDS–since much of school funding for great programs has been cut, ART–which enriches our quality of life everyday but gets little acknowledgement, and SHARING–a great way to save money, meet neighbors and build a birgher furture.

QKA is proud to be a sponsor of the Kids Activity Area at this first ever ShareFair taking place on Sunday, July 10th, on 5th Street in Downtown Santa Rosa. 5th Street will be closed to traffic between “B” and “D” Streets. For more information or to get involved, go here.

A Community Dream Realized

Here’s a quote from the article the QKA marketing department thoroughly enjoyed: “I think that the new school has a great stage, kitchen, plants, playground, library and classrooms. I think the whole school is awesome. P.S.…It’s totally twenty-first century,” Sofia Seim asserts.

The new Mendocino K-8 campus will be featured on our website in early 2010.

On Tuesday members of the QKA Local team for the Open Architecture Classroom Challenge (Chad, Tony and myself) visited the Americorps tutoring and after school program at Meadowview Elementary School in Santa Rosa. We will be working with them to find ways to better use their portable classroom for their literacy tutoring and after school programs. As you can see by these pictures, we have our work cut out for us. Check back later for what our ideas are.
