The Welcoming Committee hosts special events for new families at the beginning of the school year. The Back-to-School Coffee is held on the first day of classes in September – all parents are invited to celebrate the beginning of school and members of the Welcoming Committee wear orange shirts so new families can easily find a friendly face to ask questions, or start conversations. The New Family Welcome Social is a fun day planned exclusively for our newest community members. Hosted by mentor families from the Welcoming Committee, the Welcome Social is a great opportunity to meet fellow newcomers and mix with community members, all while relaxing with drinks and home-made foods.
