Join us on October 3 at 6 p.m. for brews and bites overlooking the famed Kona Kai Marina for a beer pairing dinner event with Eppig Brewery. Executive Chef Ethan Brown has crafted a drool worthy menu with his favorite dishes from ceviche to swordfish and quail followed by decadent strawberry rhubarb - all paired to perfection with brews from Eppig Brewery. Eppig Brewery is an award-winning craft brewery in San Diego, California. Brothers Joseph and Leonhard Eppig established a brewing empire which excelled through the early 1900's and discreetly endured the trials and tribulations of Prohibition. 150 years after the first family brewery was established in Brooklyn, New York, Stephanie Eppig & her partners resurrected the Eppig brewing legacy.

The Classroom of the Future Foundation (CFF) has combined the excitement of the hit show “Shark Tank” and the need to support innovative San Diego County superintendents to create an event called “Supe Tank“. Our Supe Tank 4.0 event on October 24, 2024, will be followed by a New Superintendent Welcome Reception to introduce the community to the San Diego County Office of Education’s new Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Gloria Ciriza. Attire: Business Casual. Supe Tank is a unique way for superintendents to share innovation that is taking place in our 43 school districts by pitching their project—a program, initiative or idea—to a room full of potential partners. Superintendents participating in Supe Tank are given 5 minutes to pitch an innovation from their district. Previous presentations resulted in several partner connections for our San Diego County school districts, including one district receiving $100,000 for their pitch. CFF’s Supe Tank 4.0—presented by SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union—will be hosted by the University of San Diego on Thursday, October 24 from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Industry partners, educators, and community leaders are invited to learn about the innovation in our school districts. They will be given the opportunity to meet with the presenting superintendents at a reception after pitches. The hope is that school leaders and industry leaders will come together and form their own partnerships around some of the ideas presented. Following the Supe Tank presentations will be the New Superintendent Welcome Reception where the community will be introduced to the new San Diego County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Gloria Ciriza. Dr. Ciriza was appointed to her role at the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) in July 2024. She previously served as the assistant superintendent of Student Services and Programs at SDCOE, which includes the Juvenile Court and Community Schools, Special Education, Student Support, Student Wellness and School Culture, Whole Child and Community Design, and Outdoor Education departments. She joined SDCOE in March 2021 and has been instrumental in advancing SDCOE’s North Star goal to reduce poverty through public education.

On Friday, September 27, join us at the charming Normal Heights United Church for a spectacular evening of original music in the round featuring Shua, We the Commas, and Lauren Ong. Hosted by the legendary Jeff Berkley. ABOUT THE ARTISTS: Lauren Ong blends genres with poetic lyrics and intricate arrangements, using music as a tool for self-discovery and connection. Trained as a harpist from age 6, she found her voice in songwriting to express emotions and tell stories beyond words. Her debut garnered over 500,000 Spotify streams, and her first album, "hillcrest," released in July 2023, opened doors to performances worldwide. After making her mark in the Singapore music scene, she is now based in San Diego, where she’s actively engaging with the local creative scene, including shows with Sofar Sounds. We The Commas is an emerging band from Southern California, made up of three brothers: Lenny, Jordy, and Cam. Growing up in a music-loving household in Carlsbad, the brothers naturally gravitated toward harmonies and instruments, shaping their unique alt-surf R&B sound. Inspired by legends like Bob Marley, John Mayer, and The Beach Boys, they blend beach culture with soulful melodies, bringing a fresh perspective to their hometown's vibe. Boasting collaborations with top producers like Rex Kudo and Charlie Handsome, We the Commas is poised to make waves in the music scene. Shua is a Southern California artist creating songs that explore heartbreak, hope, and the human experience. As a husband, father, and a follower of Jesus, he makes "companions to the soul" for those navigating loneliness. Music and art helped him find his way through life's fog, and he now creates to offer that same comfort to others.
