No sign-up sheets waiting at the door.

Just a casual night to connect with other parents, laugh a little, and enjoy being out without backpacks.


Where: Sonny D’s


When: April 11

Time: 5–7 PM


All parents are welcome — whether you’ve ever stepped into a PTO meeting or not.


Organized by a few parents who thought this sounded fun.
