Celebrating our community!

We love to gather as a community to learn from each other, socialize, and celebrate! Annually, we host two signature events: a fall Parent Social and a spring Party with a Purpose.

We also host numerous events, bringing together our community, supporting local businesses and institutions, welcoming back alumni, families, and grandparents, and supporting special causes. Please visit our Calendar and Events page for more information.

Whether you are a new or returning parent, you'll want to join us in a toast to a fantastic year ahead!

Thank you to our 2024 partners!
