The next Cultural Celebration is Christmas, 
which will be celebrated during our students’ lunch hours. Also, Lower School classes are creating winter-themed ornaments for the Governor’s Residence Ornament project. The ornaments will be displayed in the Lower School office until November 21, then moved to the Governor’s Residence. Public tours of the Residence will be available on December 6 and 20 from 11 AM–1 PM, and December 13 from 5–7 PM. No reservations are required, and tours are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please join us for the Upper School Parents Association Meeting on Friday, November 11, 8:30–9:30 AM in the Porter Conference Room. The agenda includes an update on the makerspace, strategies and tips for surviving high school pressures, discussion on raising caring, respectful, and ethical children, and Upper School second quarter calendar. Coffee and breakfast treats will be served. We are also requesting feedback to see if there’s interest in duplicating the quarterly Upper School Parent Parents Association meetings in an evening format. Email Elizabeth Esch if you would like to attend an evening meeting.
Please contact Christine Larson or Amanda Campbell via email to learn more about the Parents Association and opportunities available.
