Hello Parents,
The Parent Appreciation dinner put on by the Student Council members Saturday night was a wonderful event! The high school students discussed the idea of giving back to the parents and came up with an evening of dinner, music, games, and fellowship. Senior Kasey Blake came up with the idea and was head cook of the evening. Her chicken fettuccini alfredo was the best I have ever tasted! Dinner was a relaxed event with parents visiting and getting to know the other parents. After dessert many of the parents stayed to play games. A rambunctious game of “farkle” was soon underway while I preferred the more cut throat card game of “hand-and-foot”. Throughout the night we were treated to “old school” music as our DJ termed it (we used to call them “oldies”). Though less than a half of the families were represented that night, it was a tremendous success for those that attended. Thank you students for thinking of us moms and dads!
