My kids all registered for the next year’s classes at the end of the previous school year, and i guess because it was private school there was no parental involvement? volunteering at registration just sounds weird to me. I know it must be cool to see kids from over the years. I know some of xsboy’s st james friends look SOOOOO diff. One was at our house a few weeks back and i could hardly recognize him, he had a FULL BEARD, and i mean duck dynasty style one, though not that long. Turns out it was to emulate a Washington National baseball player but still it looked bizarre to me!
Yes, we do red letter days for each grade in HS, where they drop off all their forms, pick up schedules and books and parking permits, get locker assignments and go make sure the combinations and locks work, buy pep items, shirts, shorts, pants, umbrellas, all the fundraiser stuff, sign up for PTO and booster teams for each grade. We have lots of parent volunteers to get all of this done, and with a school of over 1800, it’s a big job.
