• 6th Grade Parent Peer Group Meeting - Friday, April 29th
• 6th Grade Hangout – Tuesday, May 24th

*6th Grade Parent Coffee - Friday April 22nd *
This event is scheduled to occur right after drop-off and just before you
head out to begin the rest of your day. We would like to invite you to
please join other parents of 6th grade students in the *Zartman House
Drawing Room* from* 7:45am to 9:30am. *This is one morning when you can
forget about fixing that pot of coffee because light refreshments will be
served. Better than any cup of coffee or tea, however, is the opportunity
to touch base and connect with other parents. We hope to see you there.

6*th Grade Student Party - Friday, April 29th*
As some of our 6th graders have already let us know, it’s not a dance…it’s a
party. Students will be gathering in the *Lower School Multi-purpose Room*from
*7:30 to 9:30pm.* There will be a DJ playing music inside. Outside,
students will have the opportunity to chat and hang out on the playground.
We’ll need help with decorating the multi-purpose room, with refreshments,
and we will need a few chaperones from each class. If you can help with
snacks, please contact Hillary-Thomas Lake at HTLake@ltlstrategies.com. If
you would like to serve as help chaperone and pour drinks, please contact
Claire Dwoskin at CD@dwoskin.com.

*6th Grade Parent Peer Group Meeting – Friday April 29th** *
While our students are at the 6th grade party, parents will be meeting just
a few yards away. The Parent Peer Group Meeting is scheduled to take place
in the *Lower School Meetinghouse* from *8:00pm to 9:15pm*. The Community
Health Initiative sponsors parent peer group meetings in an effort to build
community among Sidwell Friends parents. Parent peer group meetings were
created to provide an opportunity for parents to discuss non-academic issues
of relevance to our children in a safe and intimate environment. They are
for parents only and facilitated by parents from the class. The forum is
non-judgmental and confidential. Please join us.

6*th Grade Hangout – Tuesday, May 24th*
This is the third and final hangout for this school year. Please make sure
your 6th-grader has reserved time to gather, socialize and relax with other
students in the grade from *2:00pm to 3:30pm *on Tuesday, May 24th. Parent
volunteers will be needed to help chaperone and to provide veggies, fruit,
etc. to go along with the pizza that will be served. Please let us know if
you can help.
