It’s finally Friday. You made it through the first week of school.
The humid air surrounds you as you’re walking to the building to pick up your child.
It pops into your head that maybe you should just get your child, head straight home, and chill in the air conditioning for the next few hours.

Well, we’re glad you didn’t!
Instead, you and your child head over to our PTA Check-In table, collect your wristband and tickets, and walk into a whole new setting.
The heat is still there. But now, it’s mixed with the hum of kids dancing to music from the DJ and the buzz of parents & staff placing their food orders at our PTA tables. Is that your child's teacher over there? Oh, wait, she's headed directly to you.
There are kids playing games on the field (did you just see a gigantic bowling pin?). Families are relaxing in the school backyard on chairs and blankets, sharing 1st Week of School drama/adventure/jitters.
As the heat beats down on you and your family, you think, maybe this was a nice idea.

Well, was it? Let us know!
