  • September 26, 2009 Alumni Playdate

    Posted September 30

    The Fall alumni playdate was a fun-filled morning for alumni and their children of all ages. Our recent weather worried us a bit but Saturday morning turned out to be a glorious day. Parents enjoyed a cup of coffee and some adult conversation while the kids played on the 1341 building playground. The alumni playdates are a great way to get reacquainted with old friends and make some new ones while your child has fun on a safe and fun fenced in playground. Plan to join us for the next playdate on March 27, 2010. Click here to see some great photos from this event.
