And a very big welcome to the many new members of our community! To the new members (and old members) please come to our amazing Spring Social next weekend and visit our RPA meeting in April - our monthly meetings are quick and informative and a great way to meet the team that runs the school. Both of these venues will provide stress-free environments to hang out with people that "get it."
Please check your inbox or Spam folder for the evite for the
Spring Social on March 25th and RSVP if you have not done so.
Please contact Christine Puccio at cpuccio@yahoo.com if you have not received your evite. This year's social will be truly memorable with its Moroccan inspired flair!
