The R.E. Team has the wonderful privilege of providing children and youth (Pre-K to Grade 12) with a liberal religious education. This education includes Unitarian Universalism, Judeo-Christian and World Religions. Our intent with curriculum is to expose children and youth to many religious and spiritual paths during the R.E. Year (August 18-May 30) in an age-appropriate manner. We hope our students learn to question and wonder, so that they are empowered to make important and responsible decisions in later life. A separate sexuality curriculum, O.W.L. (Our Whole Lives) is offered to grades 7-12 and taught by UUA District-Trained Leaders.
