BacktoSchoolNight

Back to School Night is like a family reunion. Teachers enjoy meeting new families and asking past students who are siblings who have graduated what they are now doing. After dinner, Dr. McCarthy introduced all of the teachers and staff, then families visited their scholar’s classroom.
