Lower School Parent Coffee Gives Everyone a Chance to Get to Know Each Other

On a morning in early November, lower school parents gathered in the Bucknall gym to meet, chat and drink coffee. Tere Aceves, director of K-8 volunteer programs and event fundraising, said the lower school is aiming for these kinds of meet and greets twice a year as “an opportunity to connect with parents and build community.” Approximately 70 parents attended, giving everyone a chance to get to know someone new. “We love to see the parents and have time to connect [with them],” said Aceves. “It’s always an opportunity to build great, long-lasting relationships.”
