 K-8 Social Hour Tomorrow!
Friday, March 27
Join us tomorrow morning for coffee, cookies, and socializing in the foyer!
- 7:50-8:15am - parents/guardians gather in classrooms to visit with teachers and interns
- 8:15-8:30am - adults quietly observe Morning Circle
- 8:30-9:30am - gather in the Commons for Kaffee und Klatschen!
The social hour is a great opportunity to go through the lost and found if you have not done so already. Additionally, if you see something that could be of use to you and your family, you may feel free to take it home with you since we will be donating all that remains after spring break. |
