Homecoming Thank You

Thank you to everybody who supported our students last week! From moms and dads who helped kids figure out alternative dress on non-uniform days, to student council members who managed to lay out and execute all the wonderful events, to faculty and staff members who figured out how to teach students with all the excitement, to the Advancement Team and Mr. Streitz who hosted the Alumni Memorial Brunch and a throng of people at the tailgate and football game on Friday evening, we had a great week with the entire community—including the dance on Saturday evening! Thank you for your part in an extraordinary display of community most places strive to emulate.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!

Lower School Parent Orientation Adjustment | 9/21 & 9/22

A slight adjustment to our K-6 Parent Orientation: we will host parents this Thursday evening (9/21) from 6:00-7:30 PM and again on Friday morning (9/22) from 8:30-10:00 AM. 

A brief introductory talk from Mrs. Naughton and Mr. Adkins in the auditorium will be followed by an opportunity to meet teachers and see classrooms. We will rotate presentations in 3 shifts so that parents of multiple students can see all of their kids’ teachers. Light refreshments and snacks offered. 

The session will be offered again on Friday morning to accommodate parents’ various schedules. In summary, two opportunities for parents this week:

• Thursday evening from 6:00-7:30PM (enter main doors and we start in auditorium)
• Friday morning from 8:30-10AM (we’ll have coffee available in the commons after drop-off)
