Back to School Night
April 28-S pm.
Some parents wonder just what
does 60 on during a school day.
Others form distorted ideas about 1t
from fragments Of conversation
among the school members OF the
family who tell Of the exciting
events and leave out the prosaic
everyday occurrences. To help both
parents and the interested public
at-large to understand the inside
workings of our school system, the
entire school schedule will be run
with much shortened periods. Each
adult may select the group OF classes
he wishes to follow for the evening.
Thus parents may visit classes that
are entered daily by their children
in the grammar, junior high ana
senior high schools. The buses Will
make their routes and pick up the
parents. When noon period is reach
ed lunch will be served in the cafe
terra. A short program will be Offer
ed in the auditorium. During the
class period, teachers will explain
to the visiting parents what that
particular class work consists OF,
what ends are striven for, and the
value Of the course. The school de-
sires the presence Of every parent
for the evening. It is entirely free.
The only students attending Will
be those who act as guides and ush-
ers in the halls and those taking
part in the program.
