New Parent Orientation

Take four youth interns, four HSH parents, one AIA executive director, one HSH program director and three HSH teachers (and one sending love in absentia) and mix with 26 new parents for an afternoon of chat that was informative and inspiring. It was a fabulous turn-out in a room that quickly grew steamy with the positive energy of our enrolling families engaging with our veteran parents! We hope all our new parents gained the information they need to feel successful in this transition with their children.

A few shout-outs:

Sharisse Huie - threw herself headlong into our New Parent Handbook!
Michelle Rosas, Melanie Limbo, Daryna Loch, and Edgar Alvarado - HSH teachers cannot imagine a greater team of summer interns. They love the work, they love each other, they love HSH. We thank them for crafting the evite, designing the event, managing the forms, and making over 40 finger sandwiches (served with pink lemonade).
Christa Brandt for supporting the Laptop Lunch fundraiser. (forms available through August 15th!)
Kimberly Anakata for speaking to tech/google group and how to join PAC without fear, intimidation or over-commitment!
Kris Palmer for representing the PAC groups (since she's on three of them)!
Patricia Murillo for finding time in a crazy schedule to support our event and provide a strong frame for the vision of Alternatives in Action.

Hurray for the Home Sweet Home learning community!
