The lower school started the school year with a bang-up barbecue in early September, drawing parents from grades K-5, plus siblings, for a wonderful evening gathering. The food – carnitas with all the fixings, cheese quesadillas and churros for dessert – pleased both students and their parents, who didn’t have to cook on the warm Friday evening. As always, the atmosphere was informal, with parents chatting while students played tag, threw Frisbees, hula hooped and generally exhausted themselves. It was a great evening for lower school parents to get acquainted and for children to work off pent up energy and hang out with friends!
