It is a lovely tradition and we invite and encourage everyone to participate. Two weeks ago Amy and Elita Gendler invited all back to their home following school to enjoy swimming and pizza. Last Sunday Shelly Wesler invited the parents to enjoy coffee and cake at her home during class. It was lovely time getting to know one another better and finding out a little more about each family. Sundays are the perfect time to hang out with friends, so if you have an idea, please take the initiative and make it happen—and watch our community bonds strengthen and grow!
