After dropping students off in their new classrooms, hundreds of parents stopped by the multi-purpose room to greet each other and enjoy refreshments. A HUGE thank you to Peet's Coffee and Tea on Throckmorton Avenue for giving us an extremely generous discount on the coffee! We also appreciate the following parents for donating pastries to ease the first day jitters: Mari Allen, Michelle Barenbaum, Karen Carr, Kristin Evans, Karen Olson, Jessica Ryan, Kristin Silmore and Tina Taylor. Thanks also to Justine Whitehead and Cathy Wilmoth for supplying tea. And a big thank you to our set up and clean up crew: Beverly Allen, Mari Allen, Karen Olson, Ronnie Sharpe and Justine Whitehead. Let's hope the good cheer at the first-day coffee lasts throughout the entire school year!
