Help welcome new families: Be a “Buddy” Family
Early Childhood parent Grace Kwon has asked me to forward her announcement below regarding a great new program she is developing to help incoming new Drummond families. I’m really looking forward to participating and hope you will too!
Thanks, Monica Lasky (mom of Cassidy & Chelsea Goldman)

Hi everyone:
On April 23rd, there was a new families orientation to welcome them into the Drummond Family. As most of you remember, this was an exciting yet overwhelming prospect. It was exciting to be selected yet overwhelming because you had so many questions (uniforms? lunches? naps? teachers?).
To help alleviate their concerns and to provide direct communications, we are developing Drummond “Buddy” families. We would like their first experiences with Drummond to be friendly and personal.
As a “Buddy” family we ask that you commit to 2 requests:
1, Contact your new family within a week of receiving their their contact info.- introduce yourself, answer questions and provide your contact info.
2, Schedule at least one play date over the summer.
If you are interested, please send me your contact info, email address, your child’s room number, age and sex. Please email it to me by May 1, 2009. Once I get the new family list with room numbers, I will email to you (hopefully by the end of May). We expect this to be not too time consuming and hopefully rewarding to both families involved.
As a “Buddy” family, you will become an invaluable resource to these new families. We will also be inviting the new families to the Big Event. So if you see anyone with a “star” on their name tag at the Luau, please go out of your way to welcome them and to introduce yourselves.
Sincerely,
Grace Kwon
