Ice Cream Social Launches New School Year

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

One of the delights of each new school year at TWLS is the chance for the faculty, the parents, and the students to all meet each other for the first time at our annual ice cream social.

A typical ice cream social is mostly a time to meet and mingle.  The students are excited to see their friends again after the summer.  This time, we set up a play area in one corner with blocks, books, and other entertainment.  While some played there, others got ice cream or popsicles and then joined their parents as they chatted with teachers and other parents alike.

Head of School Ann Rooney then introduced the faculty and specialists, giving each a few minutes to talk about who they were and why they were at TWLS - the difference their programs made.  After a few further announcements, it was time for ice cream again, as other students demanded teacher Sarah Trout’s attention to tell about their summer exploits.  We hope everyone went home happy, full of ice cream and school information, and ready for the first day of school!
