PARENTS ASSOCIATION AND COMMUNITY

The Parents Association of La Scuola (PALS) had a busy year celebrating all things community!

We started over the summer matching our incoming families with “Welcome Families’’ to help ease the transition to the start of school and ensure each child had a friend when school started. We kicked off the school year with our Welcome Aperitivo, which was a smashing success. Parents mixed and mingled, kids played lawn games and soccer, and we chatted over Aperol Spritzes and Italian sodas. We enjoyed Parents’ Night out at Harmonic Brewery; participated in the Italian Heritage Parade; held our annual Holiday Party; had a Beach Clean Up; supported Carnivale, Autumn Festival, Annual Fund, La Dolce Vita; built the Yearbook; brought back the Dogpatch Library; and supported an amazing Admissions season!

We finished the year celebrating our phenomenal faculty and staff with Teacher Appreciation Fridays and closed it down with the Fiera, a festival of games and soccer. Overall it was a wonderful year of building community and making friendships that will last a lifetime.
