What's a "Coffee And"?
Tomorrow morning will be the first "Coffee And" of the year. Coffee And is coffee with a light breakfast (usually just doughnuts) and conversation. Parents whose schedules conflict with evening PTO meetings have a morning opportunity to catch up on PTO business and chat with faculty members or administrators in search of doughnuts. It's less structured than a PTO meeting, so more casual and interesting conversations are possible.
8 o'clock tomorrow morning in the meeting room just behind the school office. See you there!
