A Note from Rajani Kapu

Dear Parents:

 

On behalf of the Parents’ Association, I would like to welcome you back, and I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing summer! As the school year starts, please join me in welcoming our newest Daisies and families. Our Residence Life department will be  busy moving our boarding Daisies into their rooms this weekend, while our Lower School students will be on campus at their back-to-school parties. At the same time, our 8th grade parents will be building sets for the 8th grade musical! The entire campus will be full of fun activity.

 

Our HPA volunteers have been hard at work this summer preparing for the many events and activities ahead:

All these events could not happen without your help! There are many ways to get involved this year. Please help us make this a spectacular year for our girls by signing up to volunteer on our newly designed HPA Volunteer Website. Many of the sign-ups will be closing on September 14, so please sign up TODAY!

 

THANK YOU to ALL of our wonderful HPA volunteers for their tireless work over the summer and for their continued efforts and dedication this school year!  In particular, I’d like to thank the Welcoming Families and our New Family/Outreach chairs who helped welcome our newest Daisies to our community throughout the summer months.  I would also like to thank our Athletic Liaisons for working so hard during their summer vacation to try to find a sports team for each of our PK to 6th grade Daisies. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful parent community!

Best to you all for a fantastic year!
