Mid September Already

Excellent showing at Curriculum night everyone!  Tons of parents showed up to meet the staff and see their kids classrooms.  I have been to two of these evenings so far (being the highly experienced parent of a first grader!) and I love it.  I don't know about your kids, but my child is very closed lipped about her school days and so I am left wondering just what happens in her class on a daily basis.  Thankfully I now have some idea of how it goes and what she is doing!

Cool smart boards in the classrooms too!

You are probably reeling from all the paperwork, handouts, booklets and flyers that you have been getting for the past few weeks so let me highlight some PTA events coming up that you definitely want to keep in mind. 

Next Friday night is "Cocktails and Conversation"  our parents night out where we can all get together in a grown up setting and chat with friends and welcome new parents into the Clarke community.  Be sure to stop by the Swampscott Yacht Club at 7pm!  Bring and app or dessert to share and there is a cash bar. Yipee.

Also --- next Wed Sept 22 is the first PTA meeting at 7pm in the All Purpose room.  This is your chance to find out what goes on all year and all the ways the PTA benefits our kids experience at Clarke.  You might be surprised at what we do.

See you next week...
