Thanks to all who attended the Welcome Back Parent Event on Friday, September 7. The morning was full of energy and excitement about the new school year. The meeting included remarks from Head of School Susan Tracy, an opportunity to learn more about PSO committees and upcoming volunteer opportunities and events, and a viewing of a film about our first year at Japhet Creek – produced by our High School students!
