Carnival Frequently Asked Questions

One of the school’s most important “friend-raising” venues – formerly known as potluck dinners – Parent Mixers give Lower School, Middle School and Upper School parents the opportunity to meet, 欢迎, and/or reconnect with parents of the other children in their child’s class. Parent volunteers host a mixer (e.g. dinner, brunch, dessert bar, etc.) in their home for parents in the class. Each gathering usually lasts around two hours. The 家长协会 Board will provide guidance and help with date selection, class lists and invitation preparation. The meal can be formal, casual, structured or not. Some hosts select a theme in which everyone brings a related dish. Other hosts have a heavy appetizer or dessert evening with everyone bringing their favorite meals. Sometimes two or more families work together to plan and host the Mixer. There have even been hosts who have provided the entire meal. Regardless of the menu or location (in prior years, 一组去打保龄球), the purpose is to provide a venue for parents to meet and get to know one another. If connecting with other parents in your child’s class is important to you, 请考虑举办一个联谊会.
