New Student Social - September 6, 2005

 

The Pennekamp PTA hosted a social at the kindergarten playground for PEP, kindergarten, and new Pennekamp students and families the day before school began.

 

Here, our super welcoming team of Debbie Killman, Stephanie Mibu, Julie Goodrich, Mary Foland, Nina Grande and Laura Kilcollins checked in our new students, handed out parent information folders, and ensured that everyone felt at home.

 

The purpose of the social is to allow our newest Dragons to get acquainted with their teachers, classrooms, and classmates prior to the first day of school.  From the smiles on all the faces, we were very successful!

 

PTA Recording Secretary Darren Sepanek talks to new families about the Pennekamp PTA while students enjoy themselves in the Kindergarten play area.

 

This year's t-shirt, designed by PK mom Naomi Ryono, is extremely popular with students and parents alike and was a big seller at the social.

 

T-shirt chair Sue Hefner (right) takes a well deserved breather between sales.

 

      

A huge thank you to Diane Brown and Denise Ellis, kindergarten and new family social chairs, our Kindergarten and PEP teachers, and all of our parent and student volunteers for welcoming our new families to Pennekamp!
