October 13th Meeting

We hope everyone had a wonderful first meeting and you are looking forward to our meeting next week, Tuesday, October 13th, 9:30-11:30.  A handful reminders as we look forward to our meeting.

Everyone is encouraged to come early. We know this is so often easier said than done, but the earlier you arrive the more time you will have to check in your kids. Make sure to ask the greeters to help direct you of where to check in.
