Grade-Level Playdates:
Grade-level play dates allow students and parents to meet, connect, and build community. It’s a more individual commitment with one or two people leading the planning for each date and just one or two full committee meetings to discuss ideas for how to keep improving this experience.This new committee is trying to establish a regular calendar of playdates.
