  Parent Association Corner

  How is it possible that we are already mid-way through February? 

   

  It was wonderful to see so many parents come out for our pickleball evening a few weeks ago! We hope those new to the sport were able to have fun and learn some new skills from our pickleball parent instructors: Roopa, Hari, and Milli. For those who are pros already, we hope that you enjoyed getting to know other CDS parents while enjoying your sport!

   

  As always, our cooking event was a great success. Sushi making was fun and engaging, and we hope everyone who attended enjoyed the food, drinks, and company. A special thank you to Chef Juliette from Bento Sushi for her guidance and expertise in making this such a memorable event.
